- While There Are Considerably Greater Indignities in the World
- Statistics Saturday: Comic Strip I Most Wanted to Slug This Week, by Day
- What I Thought About All the Gerald Ray Popeye Cartoons
- I Know What You're Thinking, but I'm Working on a Fan Theory Here
- What's Going On In Mary Worth? Why does Mary Worth want to be friends with Jared? June - September 2022

- MiSTed: Skippy's Mom (part 2 of 12)
Let's have some more of Canada's Wonderland, as we get to the last of our night there.
You see where that fence rises there? I thought that was the end of the Yukon Striker line. It was not. It was about the halfway point. Also that's about where the Single Rider Queue starts and we might have given that a try except we didn't see it and it turns out that was pretty substantial also.
More of the theming for Yukon Striker: they have a one of these things from theatrical cartoons! Fun!
At the station they have these conveyor belts to convey your stuff to the far side of the station. Very efficient and makes for good loading times on the ride.
The midway fountain seen by night, which had finally fallen. Got there when we took a chance at getting an ice cream cone that didn't work.
And now to our last ride of the night ... BEH.EM.OTH!
Behemoth's queue and part of the return leg of the coaster. I love this sort of play of light and color.
Trivia: The southern border of Alabama (other than the heel that reaches the Gulf of Mexico) is at 31 degrees north latitude, the border specified in the colonial border for Georgia. (Georgia's southern border is noticeably south of this.) Source: How the States Got Their Shapes, Mark Stein.
