KX4AC Carl : can pass through. There are interactive fountains and surf that crashes at
KX4AC Carl : your command. All-in-all a fun exhibit.
KX4AC Carl : However, I guess I should have worn a mask, because the Saturday after
KX4AC Carl : I got home I came down with an awful cold. I am sure I must have caught it
KX4AC Carl : at the parks. I missed last week's net because I just wanted to get to bed
