No theme but plenty of fun on this year's display of plastic animals. The octopus was in a holiday mood. I experimented with a wavy "cracked ice" streamer this time. It was well-received but a pain in the butt to put up. The highlight for me was a real stink bug trying to mate with a giant plastic stink bug. Next year I definitely need to return to a thematic presentation.
Scroll through photos of previous holiday displays.
For the second time this month daffodils are blooming in Morningside Park. With temperatures forecast to be in the 50s for at least a couple days this week there will undoubtedly be more. I wonder if any will around to bloom at the more traditional time of year?
After a refreshing Mark Twain Pepsi, and an effervescent root beer at the Mark Twain Dinette, it was time to head out of Hannibal. We could have taken the train, there is a small station named after Twain's brother, Lionel, but we had a rental car.
To get to Illinois you drive on Mark Twain Avenue and cross the river on the Mark Twain Bridge. Had I taken a photo looking south you would have seen the Riverboat Mark Twain and the Mark Twain Caves beyond. Instead I was looking forward to the Land of Lincoln.
Too much going on this evening so, here, take a look at Grand Central Terminal.
I'm not in a writing mood tonight so here's dinner. Pasta with broccoli raab, sausage (from Harlem Shambles) and garlic. Not pictured: Otter Creek Stovepipe Porter.
