Another video, this of the World’s fastest, longest zip-line in South Africa. This would be like taking the Tram without the tram.

Out in Left Field takes her kids to Charles Edward Fromage. You know, Chuck E. Cheese. (A place NewMexiKen went once.) “‘Come on,’ I mumble, taking him by the hand and letting him know in no uncertain terms that he’s a pain in the ass. But that I love him anyway.”
