Still cruising the Michigan International Speedway and its lights show. Let's look in.

Here's a nice set of castle towers that I believe you do drive through, nervously.

Sorry the picture is so blurry and unfocused but I was getting a non-flash picture of some entry gate for the speedway proper, which was itself unlit, so it's kind of amazing anything turned out at all.

Here we're coming up on another tunnel and you can see the sort of waterfall of colors effect it had going on at the moment.

Getting closer. The color changes were animated so the tunnels never stayed quite the same.

I assume this was blue and yellow to appease the University of Michigan fans a while.

Finally back to some real proper Christmas stuff: a legless teddy bear in a helicopter, like you expect. I have no explanation for the floating unlit question mark bubble above the tail rotor.

All right, the bear in a helicopter may be confusing but how about the elf in a hot air balloon? That's Christmas, right?

And now, Channel 7 presents today's Million-Dollar Matinee!

Your Million-Dollar Matinee today: The Dinosaurs' Christmas That Almost Wasn't.

Not enough for you? How about enjoying this sea serpent with the twitchy tail? You can see the outline of the other position lit by the tail spade there.

Who doesn't like an elf on the back of a brontosaurus?

Apparently the brontosaurus, because the elf is either hiding or has already been eaten! Live and learn.
Trivia: The word ``mill'' was, in Middle English, frequently spelled ``milne'', reflecting its origins in the Latin ``molina''; a dialect variant ``miln'' preserves the spelling. Source: Webster's Dictionary of Word Origins, Editor Frederick C Mish. Rather the way that ``kiln'' has an etymological reason for having the 'n' there, but the word is often pronounced ``kill''.
