Ghouls, Goblins and Roller Coasters

Hi all. I am happy to report that Susan and I survived the hurricane just fine. The winds were a bit stronger than expected but we only lost power for a few hours and there was only minor damage in our area. Well…some rich guys yacht blew up onto the Causeway road near our apartment…but does that person REALLY have any problems. The county had the ‘chain gang’ prisoners out cleaning up promptly the next day following the storm, complete with horizontal black striped uniforms and all.



Went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios last night with some friends (Above are Susan, Steve, Alison and Stu). It was definitely something to see. The atmosphere was creepy with fog machines, chain saw wielding hooligans and motorcycle riding zombies. The lines for the haunted houses were long, but at least they had bars set up for cocktails and beer. We rode the Incredible Hulk roller coaster in the dark (those who have been know how cool THAT is), the Spider Man ride and basically wormed our way around the park. We got into four of the ten or so haunted houses. I’m happy to report that even I wasn’t too scared…although I did have a death grip on Steve and/or Stu through the entire ordeal. Below are some pictures that didn’t come out too well due to the darkness, the pictures don’t do the characters of Death and his Mistress justice as they were on about 8 foot stilts and very impressive.
