I cannot tel you how many times I have been around that small go cart track in a very small car.  Of course, I do not think my feeling a little dizzy is from that.  I think it was those carnival rides.  Jacob got me in some bear ride and grabbed the wheel in the middle of the bear and spun us around until I felt like I was going to lose my lunch.  A good nights sleep will probably be the cure.  The crazy thing was, he wanted to get me in that bear again under the guise of spending time together.  I let him ride the spin rides all he wanted after that.  To me, at least today, he is the Spin Monster.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_732\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-732\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Spinning-430x322.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"The Spin Monster\" width=\"430\" height=\"322\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Spinning-430x322.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Spinning-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gdpalmer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Spinning.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-732\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Spin Monster<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As he spun past me, I looked at the manufacturer on the information plaque.  &#8220;Wisdom Industries&#8221; from Colorado.
