Quirky questions, answers, and observations to ponder in a world gone off the rails

Quirky questions, answers, and observations to ponder in a world gone off the rails: The best summer job of my life was piloting a paddlewheel boat of about 100 passengers around a manmade lagoon near the shore of Lake Erie. The Western Cruise ride at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio, was a 20-minute excursion, repeated Tuesdays through Sundays with new passengers continually during my 10 am to 5:00 pm shift.
