To all those who dare to travel and Mum Brenda!!!
Whale Pee gets on you when Brenda says....."lets go to the front of the ferry and see if the dolphins are out"! Keep in mind that it is pitch black outside. Lynn, Brenda, and myself (Kimberly) are standing in the front looking around when all of a sudden Brenda turns to run! I see this and still am unsure of what is happening when Lynn grabs Brenda's arm. There is a bump and then a wall of water that overcomes the ferry! We are soaked with whale pee! Ok...Brenda is right you can't believe everything I say! Just imagine it was whale pee!!!
Pulled over by the feds....Brenda's ability to listen to me (should never be done in the future). I see an empty lane when we are waiting in line for the ferry. I see others going in it as well. So does Brenda drives the car into the lane. We are passing people and thinking this is cool! Apparently....there is one lane to get on the ferry and it is illegal to cut! Yes....Brenda, Lynn, and I cut! We asked the man if we could get in front of him and he did not seem to have a problem! When the unmarked car pulls up next to us...Brenda rolls the window down and a nice Texas marshall with a heavy accent and a few too many jelly donuts in him, gave us the once over about how it was against the law to cut in the ferry line! Brenda tells the nice man that we just followed many others, the jelly filled donut himself proceeds to tell us that it is a $500 fine to cut the ferry line! I texted Shell and told her that we needed bail money because Brenda was not getting out of the line! Ok...we got out of line and went to the back of the oringinal line. Two hour wait or so and the soaking of a life time with Whale pee!
When I get on the train, I will make sure that I tell more truths! But remember....don't believe everything I (Kimberly) say!!!
Seen through the eyes of Kimberly under Brenda's icon!!!

Joyce...

OK, so after the sharks and before the Titanic when I told the ticket takers "I am not getting up and going to stand in that line all over again, I meant it. I stayed. You backed down because it was a jelly donut cop? You woosy. Is that how you spell woosy?

Did I not tell you that was the picture with the CHEEZY smile?

But it was the cutess one of Patty so we used it!! (and we needed one of Melissa). You just happened to be in the picture.
Yea, you talked back to the ticket taker, but did he have a big silver badge (like Derek does)????
