A giant banyan tree taking over the graves around it.

The pumpkin on the left is one that I bought last year, the one on the right just arrived yesterday. My wife is mildly obsessed with Halloween and pumpkins so she really likes them and the black glass with UG over it is pretty cool. I also got this raw glass rod, so now I feel like Homer Simpson in the opening credits of the Simpsons

I bought one pack the other day on a whim and now I had to go back and buy six because they ate them all in a few minutes.

I’ve seen it lots of other places in the county, but now our local market has been claimed by it too.

The first picture is from after the fair with more badges and unigrids we got over the summer. The second photo is how it was displayed at the fair with his stamp book, tokens, and crushed pennies.

It’s been 8 years since I have been able to get tickets to SDCC and I was excited that I got tickets this year. I don’t really spend much time in the main part of the hall where all the big booths are, I spend almost all my time and money in the small press section, the area with all the self published, or small company released, comics. There is so much cool stuff to find in there and the people are so passionate about their projects.

The Godzilla vs San Diego comic was at the booth for the artist, Margeaux Pepoy. The other Godzilla comic was at the table of one of the writers (I think, my son has already run away with it.)

I posted a few times about this park/trip, but I really liked it. Sure Manzanita lake was kind of a madhouse of tourists, but once we got out of there it was so much more quiet than Yosemite, Sequoia, or Kings Canyon. Just wish it wasn’t so damn far away.

This caught me off guard 🤣 🙈

This was the last national park I needed to visit to have seen all of the ones in California. My son and I decided to camp there for a few nights to really enjoy the place. There were so many people at Manzanita lake, and too many not respecting the wildlife or park, but it was still beautiful. We drove the road that crosses the park and stopped at so many beautiful lakes, and hiked Bumpass Hell. The next day we hiked the cinder one which really made me feel my age. After that we checked out subway cave, the lava tube that I think it technically in Lassen National Forest, not in the NP itself. I really liked watching the stars at night, and it made me realize just how many satellites there are in orbit. They seemed to be constantly going by. But overall it was great.
