Pam,

Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed our site!

Dear Pam,

Our fortune teller, Digitalis, has been a staple here for years. He is
here
every day the park is open. As far as I know though, his readings are,
well,
for entertainment purposes only.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't do reading by email, as I'd be totally
surprised if
he even has a computer.

As far as the carousel goes, yes you're right. It is very special, in
my
opinion, but that's probably because of the very personal fond memories
I have
there.

Hope you can visit us soon!

Dear Pam,

As far as I know, Digitalis doesn't have a computer, at least I'd be
really
surprised if he did. He's a very 'timeless' sort of guy, and I don't
think he
has much need for modern technology, lol. He is here every day the park
is
open, however, so he's easy to find that way.

As for the Magic Carousel, it's special to me as my wife and I fell in
love
while riding it, when we were teenagers. We were riding together in the
chariot and that's when we both knew.

Hearing the music wafting through my window all day is certainly a side
benefit of working here. It's brings back very fond memories of my
wife, which
is really nice.

Our carousel is very special to many people, but that's the only
firsthand
story I can tell you.

As for now, I need to go, as it's pretty busy here today.

Sincerely,

He is really skirting the issues. He just ignores most of my questions or he really doesn't know when they "go". I guess I haven't asked the right one yet.

Ursulla,

Oh, I see what you're getting at. The problems we've been having with our
website and our webhosting company, again. Over the last 6-8 weeks we've been
having troubles with server crashes, along with files and domains getting
mixed up. This resulted in our website sometimes not being accessible. Is this
what you mean?

I can assure you, we haven't gone anywhere. I have the paystubs to prove
it. We certainly haven't become a cemetery, except for when we have our
Halloween Haunt in October.

If you come visit, you'll see. We're real. You can touch stuff and everything.

PS-I'm not really making fun of you, it's just that your questions just seem a
little odd, you must admit.

Pam,

Yes indeed my wife was the love of my life. I hope you don't
misunderstand,
but let me just say that yes, I lost her a short while ago, and leave
it at
that. I have lots of friends and family who are here to support me, but
thank
you for your concern.

Thanks for the trivia about carousels. I had no idea as to the roots of
the
word, or the bit about the lead horse. I'll have to check into whether
our
carousel has one. I think we have some pictures of our Magic Carousel
around
somewhere. I need to get on it and post some of those, as I just
realized
there's nothing on the website right now.

Sincerely,

Pam,

Thanks for your kind words. It gets easier every day.

As far as our Magic Carousel goes, no, it doesn't have a brass ring
machine.
There aren't that many that do any more, that I'm aware of. The only
one I
know of for sure that has one is the Looff carousel at the Boardwalk in
Santa
Cruz, although the rings are steel now.

Well, gotta get back to work.

Pam,

Thanks for the heads up on the Chest of Jewels. I'll forward that to
the vendor
who supplies the games, and see if they can get it fixed right away.

Yeah, I knew that about the love seat thing. Phoebe and I used to
always talk
about it, as it seemed so appropriate in our case.

You know, it's funny, but I have no idea what songs the carousel plays.
I know
a couple songs are Turkey in the Straw and Oh Susanna, but that's all
I'd be
able to name off the top of my head. My little girl may know some more,
as she
could ride that thing all day long, lol.

Anyway, hopefully you'll be able to visit us soon and hear it for
yourself.
We're open every day through the summer!
