Well if you were stupid enough to spend all your time at Veterans Park you got what you deserved. Not only was it a mud pit, it was geared towards separating you from your money with overpriced merchandise and food. I walked in on Wednesday, was told to put out my cigar by the staff, and left, not to return. Maybe 15 minutes wasted.

After that we had a blast at places (with concrete) all over the region. There was the Museum, Bradford beach, a hill climb at Little switz, three massive street parties, Miller Park, 6 dealerships, and countless other venues to choose from. How you missed those I cannot fathom.

Pissed off that the mud fugged up the Jazzy scooter wheels and velcro closures on his shoes

As a side note, HD isn't really worried about what 68 year old men think anymore. So threatening them with the "I'll never be back" loses it sting.
