I arrived in Dublin yesterday, and it’s back to big city life for me.  As I was exploring the city, I came to a beautiful little park with a little archway and a clock tower.  I wanted to take some pictures, so I headed towards the entrance.  There I found 6 Dubliners, each around 40 years old, clearly high or drunk (mid morning) and huddled around something they were doing with their hands.  Oh crap, will they notice my camera and steal it?  I had two choices, turn and run or smile and walk in.  I chose to walk in, pulling my camera close to me, and noting if there were any other exits.  There weren’t.  I dawdled in the park for a bit, then made my way back out again.  The drunken leader asked me if I would take his picture.  I did.  Harmless.

A rural green trip to Ireland
Eco-tourism became a buzzword about 20 years ago, and since then it’s success can be measured by how the concept has spread globally.

There is a button on the backside of the FASTPASS machine that allows you to print out multiple passes to rides. Push the button down first, then insert your ticket. FASTPASS is a free service once you are inside the parks already. It allows you to wait in line for rides, without actually being there, by giving you a “return time” to show up and get on the ride. But, the fault is that you can only get one at a time (for one ride at a time). This little trick allows you all the FASTPASSes your heart desires without restrictions to one at a time. Each person has to insert their ticket to print out their FASTPASS.

No matter that a deadly sharp can be fashioned from virtually anything found on a plane, be it a broken wine bottle or a snapped-off length of plastic, we are content wasting billions of taxpayer dollars and untold hours of labor in a delusional attempt to thwart an attack that has already happened, asked to queue for absurd lengths of time, subject to embarrassing pat-downs and loss of our belongings.
