I got SO OVER amusement parks the summer our family went to Elitch's Park in Denver. This was sometime in the early twentieth century...maybe the roller coaster had only recently been invented...We rode that crazy roller coaster and I was sure I would die. When the ride finally came to an end, I wished that I HAD died. It was so miserable that ever after I never felt amusement parks lived up to their names. Thinking rodeos would be less intimidating to me, I ventured to the famous Burwell, Nebraska rodeo as a teenager. At that event, my boyfriend had his pocket picked and lost all his hard earned cash, plus we had no money to buy food that day! It's no wonder I became a home body!
