AZ is too hot. One report I'd read said that San Francisco had better productivity than Phoenix due to the panels being too hot.

Exactly. While their productivity may be cut as much as 90%, solar panels are still collecting energy even when it's raining. Also, temperature plays a part in it as well. While AZ may get the most sunshine, it's heat reduces output of the panels by 10-25%.

Matt, did you hear anything about another event on Tuesday?

Thanks for the clarity Matt.

Yeah, and it always strikes me as odd. Oh well.

No, some of them are just blue lines, sponsored by Dr. Scholl's and don't go anywhere in particular. I think SFNE's is like that.

Is Dr. Scholl's sponsoring it again this year? Other parks have them as well, they just don't lead to the safari (because, obviously, other parks don't have safaris.)

Rumor is that Wonder Woman is opening FRIDAY for Member & Passholder previews, soft open to the public 5 PM on Saturday. Details are supposed to drop via email later today. This is second-hand information so I take no credit/blame for it.

It's an insurance thing. It's the same reason why they card senior citizens for beers at concert venues. If you force everyone to disgorge their pockets regardless of whether or not they zipper, there's no issue with capricious exceptions or rules going unenforced.

They'll probably hold off for a weekend without a member event, maybe the 15th (which would put it between Bizarro's 20th birthday member event on the 9th and the Calypso Springs opening member event on the 21st). I can't see them sitting on it until late June/July but they'll want to do the usual fanfare with previews and all that.

I've had the book sitting on my Kindle for years. I really should make an attempt at it. I just finished Blood Meridian though and need something a bit lighter.

Actually, it was supposed to open with a Member Appreciation Event on 18 May, which was pushed to 23-25 May and then pushed back indefinitely as NOTHING HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED. You're really bad at this game. You might want to consider not playing it anymore.

It was supposed to open last weekend, so no.

So ... knitpicky thing ... why is it "Coasters *for* Cancer"? That makes it sound like they want the cancer to win. It should be "Coaster Versus Cancer" or "Coasters Beating Cancer" or "Coasters Against Cancer", basically "Coasters [insert oppositional verb] Cancer". I sometimes wonder if people think before they sign off on these things. It's a great cause, but c'mon.

AccuWeather is saying a possible t-storm or shower. Either way, I wouldn't get my shorts in a knot over it.
