North Idaho theme park that keeps people out of my mountains. If one is riding to the top of the Panic Plunge, one may witness fatalities on the Goat Trail that runs by it, also known as Highway 95 and one of the nations' 9 deadliest highways.

North Idaho's Silverwood theme park has some great vantage points from which to observe traffic fatalities on the Goat Trail.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
