Jim LOL! Ironically, I remember it. Well, sort of.....I remember what it was (we invented our own alternate ending). Raiders of the Lost Ark. So yeah, pretty good movie . I also remember that it cost all of $1.25 to get in, and that EVERY kid 14-22 for 60 miles around was there. They had a full 50's style diner behind the concession stand and a huge video/pinball arcade behind that, plus a lit up putt-putt golf course. The place was the young people hang out for three counties. Last time i was up in central MN fishing, I drove past it. Still there! Didn't Mark Twain have a quote "Lord if I'm to die today please let me be in Kentucky no. central MN, because everything there happens twenty years late.
Considering its Easter Sunday, maybe its time to reflect on my own musings above. Sure, we went to church this morning and took communion (via chrome book), and right now Ms Briguy is jamming cloves into a small ham that will be our dinner tonight. So somethings remain the same even as the world is on fire around us. If a rural drive in with a decked out in chrome diner can still persist well into the 21st century.... there WILL someday be another BB picnic. I'll make smoked fish again, we'll toss all the unsold jigsaw puzzles into the pyre, as we toast Steamboat Bill, Ebozo, and all the other fallen we remember.
Keep positive and carry on, for he has risen indeed!
A happy Easter to all.
