It hurts ...Beautiful shots of the old Park, Major.<br /><br />It hurts and it’s wonderful, all at once.<br /><br />Chief Wavy and his Kings Men. It’s good to be King, but better with backup.<br /><br />Yes, those are expansion joints in the plaster “rocks”, but ssh don’t spoil it.<br /><br />Happy holidays, all.<br /><br />JG JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-38496341150453107852020-12-20T19:49:56.348-08:002020-12-20T19:49:56.348-08:00Dean, I’m surprised “they” haven’t “plastered” it ...Dean, I’m surprised “they” haven’t “plastered” it with a laser show, yet.

Melissa...Lou and Sue, that is some crazy babushka!<br /><br />Melissa, Noooooo! Don’t let Star Wars ruing Frontierland more than it already has.<br /><br />K. Martinez, ah, those novelty songs of the ‘50s and ‘60s! Greatest songs ever? I’m glad you like photo #1!<br /><br />TokyoMagic!, I’m glad they saved the Chief, even if they had to move him. Somehow it makes it better just knowing he’s there.<br /><br />Chuck, it’s kind of true, when I picture the Matterhorn in my mind, the “hook” usually faces to the left. Not sure why though. Maybe because from most of the park that’s how it looks? I don’t even know if that’s true, ha ha. I have the feeling that the “welcoming party” up on the hill was removed long ago, though they might have stayed for a long time, hidden by trees. I guess I’m as ready for Christmas as I’ll ever be, thank goodness. No last-minute shopping for me.<br /><br />Nanook, I’m surprised that the Poet Laureate appointments have continued, since that seems to be the sort of thing that many people would regard as frivolous. Melissa gets my vote! I was surprised to learn that Maya Angelou was never officially a Poet Laureate.<br /><br />KS, ha ha, “We’ll just stand back here, but if you need us, we’ll come running!”.<br /><br />DKoren, considering that the Chief seems to be so friendly, it does seem a bit funny that he has a bunch of warriors hiding in the trees. Just in case! Can’t say I blame him though.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-22757536529369756692020-12-20T12:14:03.395-08:002020-12-20T12:14:03.395-08:00In that second pic, who's all that hiding in t...In that second pic, who's all that hiding in the treeline towards the top?

Maybe it's because the lighting is better over there most of the year, or maybe because the "hook" at the top tilts that way, or maybe it's because when I am on this side I'm looking at the load area or at everything else around me and not up at the mountain. Weird. Which suits me perfectly.<br /><br />Major, you've got me wondering if they rediscovered Chief Wavy's friends when they Alderaaned that corner of the Park.<br /><br />Nice work, Melissa.<br /><br />Happy 4th Sunday of Advent, errybody! Today is National Sangria Day and National Go Caroling Day.
