You're my favorite rainbow.

And I'm glad you didn't die at the carnival.

lol, it's the ZIPPER not the Tipper. (Note how it kind of looks like a zipper when it's vertical as pictured). ;-) That ride broke when I was on it as a kid in '97. I slid down into the feet compartment and was stuck upside-down for 10 minutes. That's ghetto... and traumatic.

Hahaha! And here I thought the Ghetto Carnival was just trying to be fancy by trying to write "T" in a sophisticated cursive manner! And I am sorry you had to experience such a ghetto and traumatic thing at the carnival. :(

I think I saw my neighbour on that lineup ride.

I actually snapped a not-very-special group of people... The one prior to this was seriously like something out of CSI: South Central LA.
