A link I posted on Tumblr

Way to go, Ed. I’m happy to see that someone is tackling this oft-forgotten subject. Having a best friend who was severely affected by an accident at an amusement park, this hits close to home.
I never liked “thrill rides” much at all growing up. Part of it was my propensity for motion sickness, but in general I didn’t get the idea of such fabricated adrenaline seeking. You want a thrill? Get up early and watch the sun rise from a beach. Fall in love. Climb a mountain. Swim in a cool, clear, quiet pond on a warm day. Give a 6’5” man a piggy back ride and laugh til your sides hurt. Watch your dog catch herring in a stream.
Them’s all the thrill I need.

When I was twelve I gave a piggyback to a friend who was over six feet and weighed like 250 pounds, does that count?
