A midnight kiss in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on New Year’s Eve For someone who loves cheezy roadside attractions, chocolate, and for whom New Year’s is her favorite holiday, it was a near perfect night. Forget about the crystal ball. On New Year’s Eve towns all across Pennsylvania drop (or raise) a … But, wait! There’s more…
Hello from the other side, I must’ve gone a thousand miles, I’m sorry but it’s long past time for me to move on. For such a long time you were my home, But not anymore. Hello from the other side…
But, wait! There's more...Really, there is a town called Oatmeal in Texas Hill Country. No, I don’t know why they named the town after a breakfast cereal. And, not far from Oatmeal, there is a dinosaur in Bertram. I don’t know if she likes oats.
But, wait! There's more...Texas is fond of squirrels. Or perhaps they’re just fond of massive squirrel statues. (And giant beavers.) You may recall Mrs. Pearl, the Giant Squirrel in Cedar Creek. Well, she’s not the only large squirrel statue in south Texas. There’s another giant squirrel, this time in Sinton, Texas. Why? Because … But, wait! There’s more…
It’s a good thing I’ve become a teetotaler because Texas is full of tea… but it’s black tea. As in oil. My drink of choice happens to be tea made from leaves. But I’d be happy to have a property full of Texas tea.
But, wait! There's more...Mrs. Gordon must have had cold feet. Or not.
At first I thought these were bed pans, but they’re smaller than those I remember seeing years ago. They also seem to be missing the bottom portion, where you put the coal. Maybe these are a different type of bed pan?
Like door locks.
But, wait! There's more...…What it lacks in size, it makes up for in density, and random oddities. The place is full up to the high ceiling with — stuff. Stuff like shrunken heads and dressed fleas.
Last we left off with the two-headed goat and the shrunken heads. That’s a hard act to follow, no doubt. Perhaps I shouldn’t have lead with the heads. Oh well, too late now.
But, wait! There's more...It’s All In Your Shrunken Head
It would seem the Ingram-Bandera area has a thing for heads. Today I bring you a two-headed goat, and a couple shrunken heads, one of which is human. (If you’re squeamish you might want to read something else, like Cat-butt-tongue water or watch the bull castration video I made on a Texas ranch. On second thought, if you’re squeamish you probably stopped reading this blog a long time ago. Ok, never mind.)
But, wait! There's more...Guess where the large peace pipe is? Right! Pipestone, Minnesota.
(I know you already knew that.)
After all of this 100+ degree heat, part of me wishes I was still freezing my tail off in South Dakota. To finish out my trip to the frozen tundra, where TSA felt me up, and I saw the best butt crack ever, I now bring you a giant peace pipe. And some more pictures of snow. You’re welcome.
The large peace pipe is proudly displayed next to the Keepers of the Sacred Tradition of Pipemakers store. The area is known for the pipestone Native Americans used for making pipes.
But, wait! There's more...That nice cowboy who took me to see bulls being castrated, and ride in a hay bailing tractor got me hooked on Duck Dynasty. Yeah, he’s a real romantic. But have you seen Duck Dynasty?? It’s the best reality show on TV. WAIT! Don’t go! I’m sorry I used a … But, wait! There’s more…
