We caught the trolley in the parking lot as we left. Here's the classic road sign, it, too, faded to pink. We had a delightful time going up and down each aisle. It was like walking through a time capsule.

Another delightful sign, this time with a fancy curl between the words. And the boxes stacked on everything! Swim stuff put away for the year. And how about the peanuts, with scoop, held in BASEBALL HEMISPHERES? Incredible.

Perhaps the best part were these aisle signs. They literally do not make them like this anymore. And the faded HARTS heart, now more brown than red. I wonder how long it has been up there? Did it watch over DinoSour eggs decades ago?

Love this picture: the balloons, the flags, the giant M&M characters... very cool! And the very basic MEATS with a plain stripe is quite nostalgic.

Friends, have I got a treat for you today. We spent a couple days in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and stumbled on a grocery store that has apparently never been remodeled since the 70s. And we followed it up with lunch at a retro Pizza Hut! Enjoy this thread of pictures.

We have a LEGO Grogu! Unfortunately his frog snack is incomplete. First set missing a piece I've ever come across.

My son found this for me yesterday! I'd like to pick up more Transformers Hot Wheels to add to my garage for Gaslands. Not sure if I want to junk this one up, though, it's so pretty!

Printing thirty Power Morphers and sixty Power Coins was quite a project. It was all worth it to make my grandson's birthday party special. His daddy even dressed up as the red Ranger! The smiles on all these faces were precious. Great memories made.

I think I'll need a LEGO project to get me through the last week of school before Thanksgiving break!

Tried making custom slides for our Star Shower Slide Show projectors. Thanksgiving is underrepresented in the holiday decorations world! I think they turned out ok.

Installed a new door handle in my Prius while following a 6 minute YouTube tutorial so I'm pretty much a mechanic now, right? Some parts fell out of the door but they didn't look very important.

Photo memory from a few years ago. The 84 JC Penney's Wish Book and the first Transformers pack-in catalog are among my favorite pieces of Transformers ephemera ever.

Printed thirty small Power Morphers for my grandson's 4th birthday party favors. Full size ones are for the "adults". I feel like Alpha 5.

If you had told me 20 years ago that I'd be able to get an upgrade to my battered childhood Sunstreaker and also the mythically rate police version of the mold for reasonable prices, well... let's just say I'm very pleased.

Obvious AI summary of my book from a "Professional Book Marketing Strategist" who wants to give me a "complimentary Literary Market Snapshot" gave me a chuckle.

Adding Wanda to my Avengers shelf unlocked very satisfying brainwaves, which were immediately cancelled when I took a picture and noticed how dusty the shelves are!

Tweaked the Spider-Man shelves this evening. With a few new additions, had to go with double rows for the Spideys shelf.
