Ah, seasons change with the scenery
Saturdays we usually divert from Cedar Point to go to the Merry-Go-Round Museum, skipping the busiest hours for this side trip. This was our plan this year too. But there was a side quest first.
A couple years ago Cedar Point started making collectible trading pins, buttons they could use to turn old art or ride signs or maps --- or some ( Read more... ) -
Masquerade! Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you!
Friday for Halloweekends we did something new to us. We went in costume, wearing kigurumi onesies. bunny_hugger wore her popular and still fuzzy-soft Cerberus outfit, drawing a lot of compliments and complicating her attempt to wear a camera bag; I wore the red panda, discovering the tail was less of an obstruction to my sitting in ride seats than I ( Read more... ) -
I was never an achiever till I got the Beaver Cleaver Fever
Let me see if I can say anything about Halloweekends.
So, Thursday. The park only opened at 5 pm or so, and only select rides would be open. The opening day of a Halloweekends weekend is like that, and it's usually good riding for what is open. But counterbalancing this: it was a beautiful, warm day, the kind of warm, sunny day that feels ( Read more... ) -
There'd be no you and me
Would you believe I have a humor blog? Me neither, barely. Would you believe I frontloaded a bunch of stuff so I wouldn't have to try and be funny in the aftermath of the election, just in case? I would. Would you believe I'm relieved I did that even though I would much rather be spending the week enjoying time off from blogging while ( Read more... ) -
Without the sun, without a doubt
Yeah, sorry, I don't have it in me to write about anything still. Here's Eclipse Day photos, bringing my Giant Wheel ride to an end.

We need its energy
I'm taking a pass again on the Halloweekends trip report because we spent today celebrating bunny_hugger's birthday and if that weren't taking up my thoughts, the US politics situation has left me feeling I need to spend all my time barfing. Here's Eclipse Day at Cedar Point photos, a much better way to spend the time.

And hoping something better comes tomorrow
I hope, dear bunny_hugger, that this marks the happiest birthdays to you. You deserve it, all kinds of joy, today.
But my thoughts go back to four years ago, and to a pensive Tuesday of 1944. I warded off some fears remembering this last time. May it work today.
Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and ( Read more... ) -
Here's wishing you the bluest sky
I apologize for preempting both my Halloweekends trip report and the new-bunny trip report but there's even more breaking news to get to.
At the end of last Sunday, the end of our Halloweekends trip, we were getting a ride on the Kiddy Kingdom Carousel. The ride operator spotted us --- as the two unaccompanied adults lingering around the ( Read more... ) -
We need its heat
I apologize for punting again on writing up our Halloweekends visit or explaining more about our new rabbit but yesterday we had a pinball tournament (bunny_hugger won B Division, story to follow) and then something taking up today (story to follow) so please instead take some more pictures of Eclipse Day:

In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
It can now, at last, be revealed.
When I last talked about looking for a new pet rabbit it was the adequate but unspectacular meeting with Walter and Larry. We didn't change our mind about Walter (or Larry). And we understand that Larry has been adopted out. But ...
bunny_hugger learned of a young female rabbit suspected of being a Flemish Giant --- ( Read more... )
