i rode the Wonkavator today
so, one of our jobs is the (20?) story dormitory being built for BU, and they have a pair of elevators to go up and down in. today was my first time on the site, and i got to ride the elevator for the first time. i was stunned during the first ride as we went to the 16th floor in roughly 8-10 seconds. :o

i thought we were gonna burst through the ceiling and fly over the Wonka Factory.

Sounds kinda scary.

2. i did, but that was only to warm up
it was more freaky than scary. i couldn't believe how fast that thing moves. and the operator screams past a floor he needs to stop on, hits the brakes, and puts in reverse to drop the few feet to line up with the floor.

3. When I worked in HVAC when I was 18 I had friends that used to complain-
about the fact that the last thing to go in a high rise building was the elevator. So they had to haul ductwork up all those flights of stairs everyday.

7. WW3
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be
:hi:
