Wuss and weatherman terms. For the hundreds of youngsters and adults who turned out for the city of Vista's Wave Waterpark seasonal opening yesterday, the cool, drizzly day was just right for taking the plunge and kicking off the summer season. We are in the midst of an energy crisis here, and everybody is taking it in the socks, shorts or swimming suit.
Water is probably next, so the cost of other things goes up right along with that.
But this is still a good deal, considering the kids can spend all day here in a nice, safe environment. The increases were needed to help the city meet its soaring electricity costs, said park manager Kenny Handler. Meanwhile, he said, other utility costs, such as natural gas to heat the pools, are also rising. Most people visiting the park yesterday seemed to accept that. A bigger concern to manager Handler was yesterday's cool, drizzly weather.
