How has it been a week

[cornerofmadness]

Since I've been to Fort Steuben (and still no pictures?) How is it am I leaving tomorrow? I got my rental today. I was hoping for a good SUV because I'm in the market.

I got a Ford Bronco. Sigh. If I wanted an off-roader this would be perfect. I mean it's got four settings for GOAT Mode. The gear shift is it a DIAL that you have to hold down a button and rotate it. OMG why? I would not buy this but it has 3000 miles and I'm ready to go.

I have two museums in Gettysburg I've not seen (which I should have time for when I get there and friday morning), I have both Superman and Fantastic Four at the movie theater that's in the hotel complex. I was going to do the ghost tour but I'll be tired. I'll try it sunday night after the con. I have too much planned for my day and a half in Hershey but I have my plans and NO spreadsheet (evil Little dog will be shocked) because all the museums in both towns are open 7 days a week

And watching Carnival Eats today gave me a bunny for the carnival horror open call. now to get on it

What I Just Finished Reading:

Monster Burger - urban fantasy not quite as fun as the first but still good. It's a fun book. There is a ton of fat issues in this like the other mystery I bitched about but in this case it felt...different. yes his guardian angel and kevin the roach pick on him for being fat but they're both mean. Lloyd knows his weight is an issue in monster hunting BUT his female partner does not mention it at all. I think that might be the difference


What I am Currently Reading:

The Wood - an urban fantasy so far so good

Dark and Dangerous Journey - WWII mystery arc



What I Plan to Read Next:

Pantomine - an LGBT (intersexed main character) fantasy, I like it but i'm shelving it for a bit




Fort Steuben


Fort Steuben

Ohio towns are going all in on murals to depict their history and I love it. Here are some of steubenville's

the steam laundry and the poor women working it

Something incredibly Catholic


two locals involved in the Civil war and of course Lincoln (who had been in Steubenville briefly)


And of course, local son, Dino. Here's Dean Martin on the side of Kroger

This is JK's fault. She told me about cool stuff at TJ Maxx/HomeGoods which is wall to wall Halloween right now and then encouraged me to buy everything I texted to her (and I did)

The new Broncos look ridiculous! Like someone took and older Bronco and squished it down. At least it's only got 3,000 miles, but a dial to shift gear?!!! So odd.

I hope you have a safe trip and enjoy yourself.

It looks just like a glowed up Bronco II (we used to have that). My SiL loves it and bought the high end one. I don't share her enthusiasm

thanks

Ha ha, thanks for sharing the pictures! :D

(When I start to see Halloween goods at TJMaxx/HomeGoods, I always think of you)

[cornerofmadness]

ha, you know me well

[suzume]

But of course!

There's at least one museum in Gettysburg which is closed on Sunday and it's the one I most want to go to. Civil War Tails at the Homestead Diorama Museum depicts Civil War battles using miniature cats.

You might also check out Mister Ed's Elephant Museum in Ortana.

Ah, is it? I've seen that one so I didn't look at its times. It's pretty cool.

I thought about Mister Ed's. We'll see. I'm mostly here for the con. I probably won't leave this hotel after tomorrow morning
