JLC's Daytona '08 ... The People

[JLC]

Hehehe....yeah....if you see my thread with the storm pictures...this slingshot ride took place right after I took those pictures! It was lightning and thundering and I was really surprised they let that thing go!

[frankykeno]

Ooooh, Imma tell your momma....er....Joanna!

Jo - it was LIGHTNING around that time that they did that! Karl even was fussing at the soccer players on the way to our hotel that they were still on the field during the lightning!

Sorry I missed it - would have loved to have seen that!

LIGHTNING!!!! LIGHT-FREAKING-NING!!!!! *feels the grey hairs springing out all over her head*

"That's okay dear, you just go bouncing around in the SKY inside that METAL ball with the LIGHTNING all around you. Don't worry about your poor mother. I'm quite fine, really I am. I'll just huddle over here under a tree and pray for you and that strange french woman. Won't do my back any good but it's never been right since I carried you (this is where we insert the dissertation about how long you took to be born and how you ruined my poor body but do I mind....)."

*works up a quite credible trembling lip and a brave sniffle whilst bravely standing under a tree hoping to redirect said lightning from her online kid....but do I mind.....*

(this would be Mother's Speech #742C)

Shhhh Robin, it's a time honored mother trick. There's just nothing like a fried mother to make em feel a bit of guilt!

Gawd I'm overtired and goofy tonight! Hurry up Reptile Radio before Judy smacks me for taking her lovely thread so off kilter.

Yep I saw how big you were on the slide dear.

LOL! I have to give props to both of them. There was not a shriek to be heard as that flimsy little ball rocketed up into the lightning filled stratosphere!

Hehe....it's fun watching you slide into "Mother Mode"!

Those pictures are great Judy!

[West Coast Jungle]

I think it would be hard to scream when you can barely breath. No I didn't go on it, I like to keep my lunch in my belly until I am completely done with it LOL.

Great pics Judy
