It can get cold. It might even freeze once or twice, but winter in Houston is mostly just dreary. The wind will blow and it will rain, but mostly it's just an inconvenience. There has been a powdering of snow once or twice over the last twenty years, but you might have to wait that long before it happens again. I think I would enjoy living a further north, where they have four real seasons. Houston has summer and not-so-summer. Spring and fall are a few weeks that fly by too fast.
As far back as I can remember, the slide was always one of the top things to play on at the park. Yes, there were the swings and the jungle jim, but the slide was unique. It was the one item that stood taller than the others on the playground. If you think about it, it was the training ground for roller coasters. It was a long slow climb to the top, then you get a quick glimpse of the view from up high. You looked down with second thoughts, but you let go anyway and whoosh, down you went. This carnival super slide can handle eight sliders at one time. At a dollar or two per trip, someone is making a lot of money.
This locomotive cab is on Union Pacific 1982. You step in through a door in the front center, up some tight stairs and the station is on the left. Right behind you is a door that leads outside down the right side of the locomotive to move steps at the rear.
