Boomers in the Parks
How can the parks accommodate aging boomers?
Y'all know I'm a Disneyland frequent flyer. I have noticed an ever-increasing number of peeps motoring-around in small electric vehicles. Dland is small compared to WDW, but it doesn't lack for guests. The electric vehicles plus the strollers are causing gridlock. All have a right to be there; and I'll tell you right now I wish I had one of those electric vehicles. I will wish it more as time goes by.
There are a lot of feisty boomers who will want to continue to get around in the parks. What can be done to accommodate us? Any suggestions??

This film is a visual poem, just simply beautiful. The story quietly tells the hardships of bringing precious drinking water to a Hunan mountain village. All the villagers---men AND women, have to help, carrying the heavy water through a narrow, rocky pass to this mountain village. The main characters are Ah-ming and A-Shui, they love each other but Ah-ming is forced into an arranged marriage. Ah-ming's wife eventually leaves,and Ah-shui is forced to go the city for a while to find work. The story is told from the point of view of a visitor involved in a difficult dam project to help the village.

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS
I'm on the road again today to work so I'll leave it to all of my friends here to do "NOTHING" for me again. See you this evening.
