    Did you know that the show got its start in Peoria, IL (just 20 minutes away from me)?

    No, I did not. That's a pretty cool bit of trivia.

    They were both born in Peoria and got married a few months into the 1918 pandemic (the “Cliff Clavin” factoid). Got their start performing vaudeville before moving to Chicago where the FM&M show started on radio.

    ...so I guess “technically” got its start in Peoria.

    Back outside among the low-resolution photos of dead people. Click the photo to read the story of Leave a Legacy.

    For forty years, nerdy guys (and gals) have spent the weekend in front of their computers.

    Who needs Leave a Legacy monoliths when you can have all the construction walls you can handle?

    It looks like this guy walked over to China and grabbed one of those Chinese lanterns to use as a hat.

    Ah, the famous Blue Palms of Future World.

    Not to be confused with Rosie Palms and Her Five Sisters, which I believe was either a 20s jazz band or a burlesque act. ;)

    no tim, onion head and melon head are brothers, not the same person, onion head can at least remove his hat if he is a nice person so inclined. but melon head, he is stuck for life with that noggin.

    Just returned from a cruise on the Disney Fantasy but, before we left, we spent a day at Epcot not for food, rides or countries but for Spaceship Earth Beacon of Magic light show. Since I was cruising, I did not use a tripod but a Platypod using my tripod's head.

    Featuring Kermit and Miss Piggy singing "Rainbow Connection".

    I asked a PhotoPass person and he said there was no set time. For us, it started about an hour after sunset. It repeats. We watched the Rainbow Connection part three times within 90 minutes.
