Itsa Antique Mall

 These pics were from our trip to Virginia, there's an Antique Mall we like to stop in, and it had been a while since our last time. Let's get some pictures!

This sun-faded Mario statue invites you into the new section. There used to be a model train shop over here, but that whole area has been assimilated by the giant store. Like the place wasn't big enough already, I say sarcastically, but... in like a good way.

No Scans

 Another batch of random pictures from shopping trips. Not exactly an adventure but there's fun stuff to see.

Bam! Looks like someone else is more upset than we are, about the apparent extinction of the price scanners in Walmart stores. We were curious enough to ask an employee why they are getting rid of them everywhere, and were told it's a deliberate attempt to push some kind of phone ap. Who would have thought that Walmart would lead the way into forcing you to use your own technology? They already make you ring up your own orders. How much more can you work for them for free? 

Bikie Bikes

 Another nice summer day for a bike ride. It's getting to be that time of the year when we don't know how much longer before it starts getting cooler, so let's enjoy this while we can.

Since we avoided the D&R Canal Trail last year, due to mask restrictions, this year we made sure to go a few times. This group of pictures is from a trip when we went in the south direction. I guess you can't really tell that from this picture though.

Big E's Pics

 There's a big thrift store that we've passed a lot, but have never gone into before. It's on the way back from a big flea market, so usually when we pass it, we've been antiqued-out already. We knew eventually we'd stop in, so of course we got some pictures to share.

This guy on the business card doesn't have any name that starts with an E, so we don't know who "Big E" is, but this is his thrift & antique store! The place looked pretty big from the outside, let's wander around and see some stuff!

Shoe made of Bricks

Back with another kickin' hip-hop round of pictures.

Lego releases a set based on a... shoe? Classic Adidas Sneaker set, the box looks like a real shoe box instead of Lego's regular packaging. If you didn't know, there are people who collect shoes, and also people who collect Lego sets. And in the middle... is this!

Dungeons & Dragons Magic

 While wandering the store, my perception roll was a success, and I spot the newest expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering card game. I quickly have to roll again, for a saving throw, to avoid passing out from excitement.

There's a few companies involved with the story, but Dungeons & Dragons was bought by Wizards of the Coast in 1997, which was then bought by Hasbro in 1999. The real mystery here is that nobody thought about making a D&D card set until... now?! Since it was never done, it was just thought that it would NEVER be done, so it was a shock to see it, in a good way.

Screwed-up Pictures

 How about another round of random pictures? It's been a while, let's see what we found interesting enough to get a picture of.

Yikes. I can probably point out a lot of things wrong with the title of this book, but that would mean that I didn't "get it". It's a joke, right? Chapter one: move. Don't continue to live with screwed-up people. Done. That took only a few seconds to read.

Bike Trips

 How about some pictures from when we were out riding the bike? These pictures are from a couple of trips not one big trip.

Right after we changed the flat tire, we stay close to home just in case the new one isn't good. That's happened before. The closer trail is totally rocked up. We tried to ride those rocks for all of two seconds before we couldn't stand it and got off!
