Not much going on right now, besides my reporting What's Going On In Gil Thorp? Why is _Dennis the Menace_ in reruns? December 2025 - March 2026 so once you've looked into that please see what you think of Glen Echo Park. I promise I run out of photos someday:
I assume this building was historically the first aid stand --- why else have the neon? --- and suppose it still is or there'd be a lot of signs explaining to go somewhere else.
And here's the view inside the Crystal Pool, which had its frontage renovated but is clearly far, far away from being something usable as a pool.
Someone lost their frisbee behind it, too.
Back to the carousel! Have a bit of a view of the chariot here, and a bit of a view of the plaque explaining the carousel's history. Also while the lens exaggerates it you can see the horses leaning toward the center, particularly on the right, something valuable if you get the ride up to full speed (which this doesn't).
Signs for the carousel, with the rules, the National Carousel Association award, and the offer for noise cancelling earphones in case the band organ is too loud.

bunnyhugger getting to know a bunny.
Looking a bit closer at the head, and the detail carved and painted into it.
bunnyhugger unable to believe that some kid went and got the rabbit next to her, instead of leaving it open for me. Such happens.
She takes the ride seriously!
Look at that, three bunnies in a row.
And a photo of the two rabbits together. Oh, but wait ... what's this? Computer, enhance!
Noooo! They carved pawpads onto the rabbits' feet!
Trivia: Inside the human body iron is strongly bound by the protein transferrin, found in serum and other secretions, which is what transferres iron between cells. Because of this tight iron-binding it is an antibiotic, keeping iron from being taken up by invading bacteria. Source: Molecules at an Exhibition: The Science of Everyday Life, John Emsley.
Currently Reading: Lost Popeye Zine, Volume 86: The Moon Glooph!, Ralph Stein, Bill Zaboly. Editor Stephanie Noelle. This is like the third story where Popeye and Pommy get sent into space. Ralph Stein needs to stop having Popeye be so stunned by the concept.
wheeee!
