Listening to Aretha Franklin's awesome 1972 album, "Young Gifted & Black" on the radio now. With retrospective, stories and stuff about the making of the album. And "Border Song" (by Elton John) is coming up soon.

^ Thanks for that. But I'm still wondering what that long, rectangular building of green, is actually for? #InfuriatinglyPersistent

Just watched the "Let It Go" number from FROZEN. Followed by "Show Yourself" from FROZEN 2. It was an epic listen.

......And as far as "that Sea Salt ice cream" goes (see above, somewhere) .... It was available on my first TPR visit there, in 2007. The ice cream was in a container, and the container was in this "clam shell" you kept as a souvenir. Very cool taste and idea, it was. TDR Souvenirs, 2007. On the right, there. Lid's in front of the clam shell holder I got, along with the ice cream.

^ With maybe (at least) one exception....Knott's Berry Farm? Or are you just talking about "staff service" vs. actual food offered? Or both?

Recent construction photo of 'Arendelle: Home of Frozen'... Photo from the net, Thanks! It's really looking good, there. Almost a whole new mini-Land unto itself, lol. And...... I am still curious, about that GREEN RECTANGULAR THING in back, there? And how they are hiding it, etc? Does it maybe have to do, with some kind of "water filtration system" as the attraction is a flume ride, yes?

The North Mountain (FROZEN) rises, at TDS' future Fantasy Springs. Photo from the net, Thanks!

^ Something new and original? And not from somewhere else? Just sayin'.

Lawn bowling. Or Darts.

All The King's Horses ~ Aretha Franklin

Listening to this, all of it.... Still rocks, during these times.

Still the fabulous.... et tres chic.... French Cruller, damnit! (See Above) And then, there's these lovely GALAXY (glazed) DONUTS. Gorgeous.

We got snow today. It came and went away. Doo dah.

Hope they will add some 'shade' of some kind, along with those benches they're putting in. But if the sun hits directly there, they might not be able to do it. So ..... ?

Best place I thought it should go. Lyrics from ENCANTO's "Bruno"..... altered a touch ...... Act 1 ~ Dumbledore sings to Harry Potter: "We don't talk about You Know-Know-Know Who" I think it works, lol.

Okay. I will admit it.... Who thinks that ENCANTO would make an Amazing Broadway Musical? The house set and effects alone, would be worth the price of a ticket, lol! And then there's that song .... "there's that song about Bruno, no, no. no". Just saying....

*HIT* TAG YOU"RE IT!

And now, for something completely different... How about that support 'thing' for the "star jet"(?), now sitting in front of "Guardians...."? I am really hoping they do something "mirror-like" in the (final?) finishing of it. Or .....? It's so obvious, holding the ship up. But hopefully, they have something else planned, beyond what we're seeing. P.S. This has nothing to do with the actual attraction itself. I am sooooo looking forward to riding this baby, woo hoo!

Here's The Last Photo of 2021, we took of Stella. Must take more of her now, I guess. Meow. David, holding Her Madge. And she doesn't want to stay there, in his arms, lol.

Another piece of art from Simon...

^ Your cat looks so contented, there.

Howard Hesseman a/k/a Dr. Johnny Fever in "WKRP In Cincinnati" tv series. He was 81. We loved and regularly watched "WKRP". To it's finale ending. RIP Dr. Fever.

^ Great ongoing collection, Joey! I have no place anymore, to really 'display' all I have, so I keep mine in their boxes. For now. And I just bought another TOMICA "ride vehicle pair" from eBay, from one of my regular eBay sellers. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride vehicles.

I know this is kind of freaky, but I think there should be a Sadness Thread, for things like this... I just read, where the 2019 Miss America, just committed suicide, by jumping off a New York building. And through out all the stuff I've read about this, there was no sign that she was in depression, etc. Sad to read.
