So first, I bet you're wondering What's Going On In Rex Morgan? Wasn't Rex Morgan supposed to look weird? March - May 2026. Second, still recovering from Anthrohio and the split-flipper tournament at pinball league so please enjoy looking at pictures instead. This would be from the warm October day we went to the Spicer Mill for a furry meetup and the chance to see ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
mystee and spouse and friends, and then head over to the Brighton Arcade.
But before we get to the mill, here's a picture we took to not forget some of the weird potato chips we brought back from our trip to Europe a few months previously. We liked the Grills Gerookt Fumé, like we expected we might.
And then a jigsaw puzzle update picture, this one a gift from my parents that showed all the spacecraft, boosters, space stations, and suits that had brought people to space. bunnyhugger made slight progress on it until specifically inviting me to fill in, like, the boring International Space Station solar panels and then I had the rest done in like fourteen minutes and was explaining stuff at her.
OK, now we're at the Spicer Orchards mill for the furry meetup, where I get an okay picture of some bees, bunnyhugger in outfit, and obscured pictures of everyone we came to see.
There was a natural photo opportunity spot that fursuiters flocked to.
I couldn't resist getting a picture of a windmill inside a windmill.
There were a lot of inflatable rides down below, as well as grease trucks. We figured to get shaved ice at soem point but a brief, intense rainstorm spoiled that.
There's a petting zoo over the farms too that looked neat and that between arriving late and getting rained on we didn't find time for.
I ask you, does this sky look like in twenty minutes you're going to be running for your car under buckets of rainfall?
Anyway on to The Arcade, which had the rest of the furry meetup; here folks gather for the group photo.
It wasn't all fursuiters, but they get the most attention.
But since it was a group for everyone I got in on the photo, and photographed right back at them.
The Arcade has this little fairy garden setting --- they still have it as of a couple weeks ago --- that goes unexplained except for, well, does this particularly need explaining?
Trivia: A pond in what became Hilltop Park --- the first home for what became the New York Yankees --- was marginally filled in by the start of the inaugural season, which the team owners had roped off and declared ground-rule double territory. Later they would try covering it with wooden planks or having fans stand in it. Source: The New York Game: Baseball and the Rise of a New City, Kevin Baker.
