In other news . . . yesterday I took Yelena to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for the first time.  She loved it.  She got me to ride the Hurricane for the first time (formerly known as the Wild Mouse).  A lot is still the same as I remember it, but some things have changed.  They sell salads at the Dipper Diner now, which is nice.  They've also updated the Cave Train, which is unfortunate.  I liked the old funky style.  Anyway the Boardwalk still rocks.
