Next week for me. Too excited!
Although 2 nights sleeping in a coach seat is not overly appealing. Good thing days are long and I can get by with naps.
I want to experience the scenery of our great land and not focus on the "road ahead" (at least for a few hours).

And one of my very favorites (in the background here),Helenium autumnale aka Common Sneezeweed. While poisonous if eaten, lovely in the garden.

He lived it and watching the show with me was his way of sharing without having to talk directly about his time in Korea.

BTW - visiting the Antarctic continent, seeing all the animals and geology, walking on floating ice, visiting historic Antarctic stations, and taking a dip in the rejuvenating waters - worth the loss of my Wordle streak a gazillion times over. ðŸ¤

Did not forget wordle, lost my internet connection on trip to Antarctica. 155 continuous days of success down the tube.
Did not restart when we returned to Argentina.
Now I waste my time with other stuff.

I've left what I thought were "good" people behind because I found out WHAT they voted for (and ITS not good).
Life's end is getting closer. Now I'm only surrounding myself with the BEST! (Even if most all are anonymous.)

Agreed. Sometimes the best photos are from the most unexpected places. Although last evening, I captured this over our neighborhood. Must be treasure here. Doesn't "X" always mark the spot?

We've been paying the "stupid people limiter" tax for well over 25 years. Luckily, it works pretty well in our state.

When we visit a foreign country (or state), we try to visit a Costco.
Often, we find things that we wish we had at home. Then I think forward to the logistics & potential growth of a business that might suddenly have produce for hundreds of millions as opposed their smaller local market.

Sure wish I could laugh at it.
I save the laughing for animal antics and a few comedians.

Lucky you!
During those years, I frequently did not have two extra nickels to rub together.
Our college did have some pretty big names come through & tickets were cheap. But mostly, it was top 40 AM radio for me. Ticketmaster was a dream.

Very much looking forward to visiting your state in a few weeks. I know after having to drive through "crazy" for a few days, it will feel great to be back amongst the sane.
Congrats, Gus! A significant milestone acheived!

Lots of video, creatures, blinking lights, animations, and an extensive use of programmable haunt controllers.
All for 1 night. Not just kinda crazy! 🤠Really crazy. 🥸

This year I'm building an Area 51 alien hospital.
Not gory, but surprises (3-4 actors, aliens in stasis, a "breathing" alien in an ICU, and a surprise when the power goes out and an alien isolation chamber door suddenly opens!) 😲
The pic posted is the observer just outside the emergency exit.
