I think the reason people continue to come is because we offer an old-fashioned environment. We have the old mugs that we still fill with root beer and it makes people think about the '50s.
We have self-imposed procedures, and people have commended us for them.
Most people say the ride isn't long enough.
We were building bomb shelters, essentially. People told us the rules had always been on the books, but until the tsunami, they'd never been enforced. Now they are.
Different shows have adapted different techniques to provide music. For the most part, there would be one or two people using a keyboard to digitally reproduce the sound of the orchestra.
Some people have left because the facility has become outdated. And so people have left to find other places. And there are some of us who believe strongly in the Y who have stayed -- I'm one of those people. I'm looking forward to what they're going to do next.
I just like the idea of people adopting them and turning them into really nice pets. They've had kind of a hard life, and they still love people.
We had hoped to get more done, but there were so many obstacles.
Playing these kind of games, these young boys are going to do nothing but get better, and that just tickles the pee out of me.
We have our highs and our lows out there. You saw it tonight. In the first half, we ran up and down the floor, but we have to rebound. We had one girl do that for us tonight. We have to continue to be consistent.
We were very fortunate to get that run, but I thought we wasted a big scoring opportunity later. It just all balances out. We were one better tonight.
We closed down our engineering department over the summer because it has been inefficient for a number of years.
We had cyclones equivalent to what weather service here would consider a tropical storm. Three times those things rolled up and pumped out a lot of water. We were stranded in the city.
We are not compelled to lose that element of quality in favor of speed.
