"She Works Hard For The Money" LaChanze from the Broadway Musical.... Diva Donna; Disco Donna; Duckling Donna. On Broadway!

Part of this, on a menu from What'sUp?HotDogs!' menu in Vancouver, made me FYI: Canucks = Hockey.

I'm surprised at least 62 people have voted on this. I mean....why? He did say "for fun" so that should be kept in mind with this vote, yes?

From the "Totally Forgot, Dude" Dept.... How could I forget to post The Last Fudge I bought, at this year's PNE? Shame. Shame on me. Here's what the Pina Colada Fudge looked like. And it was really good, although I'm not quite sure what the nuts on top, were for. Whatever. It was good. Also, here's three of most fun photos I got to take at this year's PNE. Kind of like the Pineapple-Walnut Fudge ~ with much less pineapple. (o; At the PNE Prize Home. Definitely into "Out At The Fair" Day. This was awesome! Made me think about a light red streak in my old grey locks. (o; You KNOW you WANT some RIBS from this guy, right?... Ladies? Gentlemen? Undecided? @Gator BBQ. Our "Winner" this year at Rib Fest.

^ I toured some caves in Japan in 1972, and you're right about photos not doing justice to what you really see. What I saw was just breathtaking, and the funny part was, I was so overwhelmed by it all, I forgot to take any photos in the caves! Silly me. Looking forward to more "Days of Your Tour."

Maybe there's something stuck on or behind the clock, something secret that nobody knows. Beautiful shots of your cave tour. Although at first, I might find myself a touch nervous about being in a narrow flatboat, treading c-c-c-cold water, into darkness, even with spotlights etc. Still, they're beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing them.

I can't believe we're actually planning to do EPCOT and this Festival in.....6 years??? Too - damn - far away - in time. p.s. Everything edible and drinkable I see here for this year..... OOOOOOMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGyum.

^ Wow, for ten (or 12) people, I'd say that's a pretty great deal! Thanks for explaining it all.

I'm curious how much the cottage cost you all? For "future planning", thanks. And personally, I would just "drape something" over that clock.

Decided to take another shot I found, of Bayside Station in Tokyo Disney Resort, and down size it for avatar size. The! New! Bayside! Station!

Yellənçək Kəpənək Qebelend Eylence Merkezi (Gabala, Shaki-Zaqatala, Azerbaijan) I have never ridden this. But the name and location was too good to pass up! So what the heck country is this in, anyway?

Final set of photos of The Fair....till next year. P.S. Sorry guys, but I totally forgot to take any photos of the "deflated bubble" that NOVA was using. Or talk to anybody about it. My only excuse is my age, and I'm sticking to that excuse. P.P.S. Playland reopens for the next two weekends, then closes to get ready for Fright Nights in October. http://www.pne.ca Down for the count. I think they should sell it, and get something else. What I got, was PINA COLADA fudge. Pardon the fuzzy sign. Another unicorn win. Then I saw this. A 60 year old Grandfather with his grandson. Cool! Mob scene at Coaster. "The Category Is"..... Biker POSE! On my way to the bus stop. Bye bye PNE! Thanks for an awesome two weeks! (o:

Continuing on, this final day of The Pacific National Exhibition (full name)... On the way up to the Side Car Bar in Playland... But I have to finish the beer I have now, in here at the Celebration tent. Gator BBQ. Check out the cute cook! The final Concert tonight. Wish I had tickets. Yellow train running. Followed by the red train... Loved the beard! And he keeps it blue all year long! Yay! A non-unicorn win! Side Car Bar filled up nicely. The dads seem to be stuck with the oversize stuffies. See what I mean? Headgear is cool! This one actually deflated his hammer. So dad had to re-inflate it up. Un-won big stuffies. Neat tattoo beside me in the Bar. At least this unicorn got a ride! (To be continued...)

~ Closing Day at The PNE ~ All good things must come to an end. And so be it, for this year's PNE. I arrived mid-afternoon, had my Henry's BBQ Chicken & Fries, and got myself a few brews during "Happy Hour" that happens at all the bars at The Fair (3-5pm). Ran into some friends of David's and mine. Then after eating, continued on up to the Side Car Bar in Playland, for a couple more "reasonably priced" beers. Took lots of photos from there, as it's the perfect spot to get people to show off their Arcade winnings, etc. And then I headed home, happy with PNE memories, and thinking about the summer ahead. On my way to the bus, I pass this residence that keeps bees! And egg laying chickens, too! Bus to The Fair isn't too crowded. Easy transport. I wonder what kind of METAL they serve? One more time through the main gate. Dare I go in? I dare! I wanted to get a photo of these oversized bottle caps "art". Wonder what the view is, from up there? Destination reached! The price board. Noted. I got a 1/4 chicken, with a HUGE amount of fries. And a Happy Hour beer! Yum! So - many - fries! Second beer. Third beer. Line up for ice cream. It was hot today. Labor Day crowd a-plenty! (To be continued...)

The other park rep looks like a "Mitzi" to me. Or a "Sally". Great TR of all that you saw, Bert!

Just heard on the radio: Calgary, Alberta is trying a driverless shuttle, between the zoo and another spot (aquarium, I believe?). Now, everybody is watching for it's success and/or failure, during a one month's trial period. The naysayers, however, are bemoaning the fact, that if this is successful, it will probably take away additional City Revenue gotten with "parking & speeding tickets..." WTF??? Didn't know they were depending on drivers being bad drivers, so much. Idiots. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*** And Bert? ^ QUIT FALLING APART inside your body! You're too young to be going through all this physical crap! #HealingThoughts

^ Geez, this is getting too wierd, even for me.

Old.

And one more Broadway Light, gone forever.... "Carole Shelley, Tony Winner for The Elephant Man & Original Cast Member of Wicked, Billy Elliot, Dies at 79." https://www.broadway.com/buzz/193180/carole-shelley-tony-winner-for-the-elephant-man-original-cast-member-of-wicked-dies-at-79/ I actually got to see her as part of the ensemble cast in "The Norman Conquests", with Estelle Parsons, Ken Howard....in March of 1976. The original Madame Morrible in Wicked. R.I.P. Carole.

Two new TOMICA Tokyo Disney attraction vehicles have just been listed on eBay! So of course I'm going to get them both, lol. EDIT: I Just bought them both! For TDS ~ Aquatopia For TDL ~ Haunted Mansion ~ You get both Doom Buggies in one set. What the packaging looks like, for the Doom Buggies.
