You worry 'bout the sun, what's the use of worrying about the big ol' sun

What've you missed on my humor blog? Me dreaming about dentistry, and turning that into a silly follow-up. Also, a bit of Star Wars expanded universe stuff. And, of course, Grumpy Weasel, the grumpiest weasel of them all! Plus, one of my most baffling sequences in the Statistics Saturday slot.

With Motor City Furry Con done, what's next? How about Easter, and walking around town? I'm not saying our town. I'm just saying, a town.

We got a lot of rain in late March and early April and part of me was hoping to see how badly swollen the rivers were. As you can see they ... don't look like that much happened, really, around here. Hm.

---

Do like the ripples suggesting what's on the riverbed beneath, though.

---

A small dam on the river helps keep the water churned up.

---

And oh, what's this? A crayfish? Not sure. They're a couple yards away from the water but that's not really that far. Creature was about the size of a quarter or so.

---

Love to see the light reflected on the water there.

---

Evidence of the heavy rains: the park grounds were still very wet and had these special bonus ponds, like, all over the place.

Trivia: The 1955 opening of the Great Western Shoppers Mart in Columbus, Ohio, featured a ``Wonders of the World'' exhibit in the parking lot, a Walk-O-Wonders over 700 feet long and 60 fee wide taking the ``traveller'' on a journey to the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, Niagara Falls, the Parthenon, Carlsbad Caverns, the Grand Canyon, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Pyramid of Cheops, and Rome's Trevi Fountain.

Though the whole thing apparently lasted only a decade or so there were pieces around longer than that. WOSU has a short video about it.
