My younger daughter Sasha danced the "Chicken Dance" with her classmates at the Cupertino 50 year founding anniversary. It was just another city festival, with art booths, and food vendors etc. The tickets for children's rides (like inflatable jumping house, etc.) were outrageously priced. $1 per ticket, 2 or 3 tickets required per ride. (So 2 kids on the inflatable slide cost $6! for 3 minutes!)

I guess they think people in Cupertino are rich, but as one of my neighbors once said to a contractor who was asking for more money because he was rich: "I got rich because I don't give away my money carelessly to people like you!"

I had more fun on Sunday driving to Big Basin in our new SUV, and except for the gas, it was free...
