Thanks Uncle Steve. Have you met my family? Seems Barnum and I have a lot in common..I live with my own little collection of oddities....LOL
I'll have to try that "egress" trick
Few people know that Uncle Loren actually worked with Barnum on a new electric generator project. The boards inside were designed to look like the circular inner pattern of large woody perennial plants...
they called them "Tree Ring Circuits"....
...but I "egress"...... :-)
Uncle Loren can't bring himself to go to theme parks anymore. The last ride he was on threw him out of the seat, and into the path of the oncoming car....which was rolling super fast on huge circular disks made of iron....
He survived, but ever since has had a fear of "ferrous wheels".... >.<
