theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave Manifesto

Documenting the JED Experience

Wednesday, July 30, 2003

I followed up my Spanish adventure with two fabulous days in Branson, Missouri. Branson, the country music Las Vegas of the Ozarks. I didn't go for the country music. No, I went for the Go-Karts. There is only one reason to go to Branson and that reason is Go-Karts. So, I went from cool European vacation to riding Go-Karts in Branson. I dropped $10 on the Wild Woody Go-Kart Track. It was awsome. It was a wood track that had ramps, curves, downhills, uphills, etc. As I was waiting to go, I saw the sign that said, "Do not ride this ride if you have neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, heart condition, etc. This is a good time for the power pack to activate. So, I drove slow and scared. Little kids were passing me and ramming me. My brakes didn't work. On the downhill curve I thought I was going to turn it over, but I survived. This was going to be an expose on Go-Kart tracks in Branson, but one ride on one track was enough. So, I went to Gilley's and had a couple of Texas Draws. I was the only one in the bar. I was partying by myself. It was a long way from Oviedo. The last place I had a beer by myself. From Oviedo to Branson, I have no fear in having a beer by myself. theJEDMAN
