I’m sure most of you have heard of the TV show “Tanked,” where they build cool, often large, custom fish tanks for folks, usually celebrities, and the occasional business. The Tanked folks built a small one for the Perdido Key Visitors Center.
But, wait! There's more...I’m pretty sure I was drawn to this place for a reason – the Cheezy Americana energy is strong. Like the Force is strong in the Star Wars’ Universe. Goofy roadside attractions are all over: Lady in the Lake, Dinosaurs in the Woods, Knights in the Woods, World’s Largest Sundial, Caesars Palace fountain.
But, wait! There's more...If a cat is petrified and dead, was it scared to death?
(Ahahahaa! I crack me up!)
Seriously, folks, there’s a petrified (dead, not scared) cat in Pensacola. No, I’m not talking about Pye, my bi-polar feline companion for whom I occasionally consider finding a new home… she is alive and well and scratching the crap out of my furniture.
I am talking about a dead cat on display, no less, in a museum. Yup, right here in the good ol’ USA can you find such treasures at the local museum as a petrified (dead, not scared) cat on display.
But, wait! There's more...The Tardis in Pensacola INTERGALACTIC Airport. Pensacola Beach is also home to a couple UFO houses. What is this universe coming to?
But, wait! There's more...Ah, how I love fake Stonehenges. You may recall my visit to Stonehenge II in Ingram, Texas. The town of Elberta, Alabama, not one to be left out of the Stonehenge fun, proudly displays a 1/3-scale fiberglass Stonehenge. Lovingly named “Bamahenge”, it is one of the coolest tourist attractions in … But, wait! There’s more…
Today’s post is about my favorite site in the tour of Baltimore Harbor: the Seven-foot Knoll Lighthouse. I LOVE lighthouses – and a little, squat, red lighthouse is a bit of double awesomeness. The lighthouse was constructed in 1856, marking the entrance to the Patabsco River and Baltimore Harbor.
But, wait! There's more...I am not freaked out or offended by death or open casket funerals. So it should be no surprise it has been my long time desire to see the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia. For those of you that don’t know, the Mutter Museum is dedicated to medical oddities. Bodies, parts, dissected errant growths, freaky medical tools, and a lot of embalmed things in jars.
But, wait! There's more...I’ve always loved all things miniature: miniature decks of cards, little glass bottles, little Christmas villages under the tree. Even stamps are little miniature pieces of artwork to me. Of course this includes miniature villages – they are the best! It’s no wonder I love making gnome doors, and creating miniature gnome homes “in the wild”.
But, wait! There's more...I went to the famous Pennsylvania Cabela’s! In case you’ve never been, I’ll describe the Cabela’s experience: It’s like going to a zoo, but all of the animals are dead.
Wait, what?
Before I go on, I should explain the title since, unlike my usual title/post combinations, this one isn’t self-explanatory or related to the topic of this post. I needed a catchy title so here’s the connection: I went with a friend who claims he doesn’t have a butt. I disagree and think he has a cute butt, but I chose the title in deference to his claim, and because I enjoy teasing hm. However, he rarely reads this blog so he’ll probably never know.
But, wait! There's more...The. Cadillac. Ranch!
One of my top three Bucket List items is officially checked off! (The Largest Frying Pan and the Largest Ball of Twine being the other two top items.) The Bucket List exists because of these three items.
Do you all realize how looong The Cadillac Ranch has been on my Bucket List?
But, wait! There's more...
