Sleep Well, Old Friend

Alternate title: "The Lead And His Ride"

There was no other possible subject for today. It had to be the Texas Chute Out. Today was the last day that this ride would be open, ever. I know there is a better ride coming next year, but it's very hard for me to see it go, because that is the ride that I worked at for the longest consecutive tenure last year, except possibly Titan from '09-'10. It is nothing short of "my" ride... I am now at a loss for words, it is a very sad, emotional time for Michael Tilton.
