This week my humor blog saw my hood ornament pictures turned into a goofy list, a couple of bits of wordplay or logic play, and a warning about big yet temporary changes coming to Nancy. All that plus yet another time loop story, hidden inside here; can you find them all?

With Michigan's Adventure visited our next thing was a visit to Cedar Point on what used to be the Bonus Weekend between the end of the summer season and the start of Halloweekends. Now it's just ... there? Not sure. But to start with pictures:
For once my park establishing shot is looking away from the front of Cedar Point, instead at the oddly convergent faint lines here and the cell phone tree in the background. This seems like an interesting photo for being an empty parking lot.
The front gate, with the promise of what we're going to enjoy this weekend: the Happy Friar having a fresh-cut fries fest, which is short for festival and long for es.
Halloweekends wasn't really started yet but they did have decorations on many rides, such as the Midway Carousel here.
And my traditional reverse angle on the Midway Carousel, looking at the sesquicentennial sign and the park entrance.
Among the props set up by the Happy Friar back by Gemini? This Reo Speedwagon! At least I think it's a Speedwagon. They were made for a long while.
And here's the Happy Friar, wandering around the area, wielding fries on plastic forks! Now and then he had to refresh the fries and I'm not sure if he gave them away or if he got attacked by seagulls or what.
Now the big excitement of the day ... Wilderness Run, née Junior Gemini, is the one roller coaster at Cedar Point I had never ridden, being as I was too tall to ride without a child and bereft of child myself.
So what am I doing in line? It's that we met up with JTK and his family, and one of the family was willing to ride with me, giving me the chance to brave this hill of over six feet of climb!
I know this looks to you like a small hill but let me assure you, it will smash an adult's knees.
Quick glimpse at the operator's booth, including the control panel and some kind of lockout mechanism on the pillar there.
People getting ready to have fun. Note the girl in front very concerned that somene is having inadequate fun or worse, having fun in the wrong way.
And there they go! It'll be my turn soon enough.
