Time doesn't operate with page breaks.

There were times during the month when I wanted to tell everyone what was going on. And I couldn't, because there was no stopping point.

The things people will do for roller coaster access.

Naturally, it is our duty to watch this a few times and make sure YouTube has to pay out at least $0.00000001 towards amusement park food.
