Yeah so remember when I said SPM would win the tournament today? Guess who was right?
But I was on my feet almost the whole day today and ended up scorekeeping for part of the tournament so here, instead, enjoy Cedar Point pictures from May, when the whole park was open:
I had never before noticed but around the back of the Caricatures booth near Magnum are these caricature figures. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger assures me they've been there forever.
More caricatures. I assume that's not supposed to be Conan O'Brien as a soccer kid but who can say?
And here we branch out to caricatures showing a purple-fan kid holding a fire extinguisher. You may tell me it's ``a skateboard'' but every time I look at it, I see ``fire extinguisher''.
Here's the Judy K tugging the train around back of the park. Just look at those particulate emissions!
Here's a part where the train is almost obscured by the plans, but you can make out traces of where it's going if you know where to look.
Picture from the Mine Ride queue. I like how the bright tracks and background get blocked out by the shaded tracks and station in the foreground.
Food stand near the end of the Frontier Trail that briefly had vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free food that was never open when we were ready to eat, and here is in the midst of being refitted to be a cocktails place.
In the petting zoo the fresh-shorn llamas or alpacas or whatever shorn so tight that they look like rendering errors.
Really, how can you believe in that neck or head shape? It doesn't make sense.
They look offended by my comments here but they have to admit the justice, the necks just don't look like actual animal necks like this.
Looking out from the petting zoo over the pond with a surprisingly few birds. Maybe they hadn't yet come back from winter quarters.
Here's a nice-looking golden chicken who isn't going to have anything to do with my nonsense.
Trivia: Nicholas of Cusa's 1437 report on calendar reform was endorsed by the Council of Basel to take effect in 1439. But in the conflict over deposing Pope Eugenius IV and installation of Felix V the calendar reform was lost. Source: Mapping Time: The Calendar and its History, EG Richards. (Felix V is now listed as an antipope; look, it was a time.)
