I saw Sonic the Hedgehog 3


I loved watching this entertaining movie.

 

In 2025, I hope that my friend Ken Buehler and I will be celebrating the start of physical construction on the Northern Lights Express train line.


What did I find on the King Manor, fourth floor bulletin board?


Already, someone posted a new January 2025 North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center events calendar.


I’m documenting small things that would be otherwise lost to history.


I see that the North Pointe Resource Center / Rainbow Center will be closed today New Year's Eve and Wednesday New Year's Day.  That means that I will not get my root beer bread until Thursday.

 

In addition, this is my 444 Angry Cab Comic post that I posted in 2024.


Working on New Year's Eve 2024


I took this image looking east, documenting a nearby parking ramp that’s under construction.  I see workers who are working on New Year's Eve.

 

What’s more, I notice that there is no snow to be seen on the ground or anywhere else.


Bentleyville “Tour of Lights”, part 22, The End


Walking out of Bentleyville 2024 for the last time, I saw Bentleyville’s reflection on the windows of AMSOIL Arena.  I had many happy times at Bentleyville.  I plan to return to see Bentleyville 2025.

This is my Bentleyville, hot chocolate, and cookie.



I found a cute, Bentleyville pun.



I found one more Bentleyville unicorn.

This is the Christmas lights reflected in a parking lot puddle.



I think that drainage should be rebuilt in this parking lot.

Bentleyville “Tour of Lights”, part 19


I’m not sure how this underwater scene with a diver and waving crabs is related to Christmas.



I found happy tourists posing at Bentleyville.

The lion with wings is King Moonracer who is a half lion half bird character from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and its sequels.  I didn’t know that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has sequels.  As an animation fan, I should see these sequels.



I created a better image of the big Christmas tree.

I found a snowman near the Cookie House.



I found a sign praising Bentleyville’s volunteer crew.

Miss Trouble looks at me


I wonder what thought are going on in Miss Trouble’s mind?


I found Frank’s cat named Miss Trouble stretching on the floor.


Miss Trouble is a nice cat and often rubs against me.

I found two unicorns and one flying alicorn having much fun at Bentleyville.  Do you think that these magical creature designs were inspired by My Little Pony:  Friendship is Magic?

I found a fire-breathing serpent on the Bayfront music stage.


Bentleyville “Tour of Lights”, part 13


This the cookie house near the center of the Bentleyville.


This is the cookie and hot chocolate that I got for free at the cookie house.

I found more delightful Sesame Street Christmas Decorations.

I found this lost mitten while walking over the South Fifth Avenue West and Harbor Drive Bridge to get to Bentleyville “Tour of Lights”.

My 2 Dairy Queen double cheeseburgers


Occasionally, about less than once each month, I love eating Dairy Queen yummy cheeseburgers.

I saw two Bentleyville USA signs.


I bought a six pack of Not Your Father's Root Beer


I also gave my baker a root beer bread recipe.  Three of my friends and I opened one bottle, to taste Not Your Father's Root Beer.  We all found Not Your Father's Root Beer a delectable and flavorful beverage.  Also, I used the word “delectable” to abuse my thesaurus.

This is my second plate of food, which I also ate with great enthusiasm.



I also ate a few dessert cookies.

What is posted on King Manor, fifth floor bulletin board for December 18, 2024?


The white paper creates a striking contrast to the dark brown background.


I got my six pack of Breckenridge Brewery Christmas Ale, part 2


This is my revised image of my six pack of Breckenridge Brewery Christmas Ale.

This Gingerbread Park Christmas display is a fan favorite at Bentleyville.  As an elementary school student, my parents and I built a gingerbread house the week before Christmas every year.



This is my Bentleyville Crispy Rice candy bar.

At the northern entrance, I found a Food and Toy drive sign.



This is the hot chocolate and cookie I got at the Cookie House.  The Cookie House is in the center of Bentleyville.

Walking west, I then found several Sesame Street Christmas Decorations.

Bentleyville “Tour of Lights”, part 6


I didn’t know that Bentleyville USA has a Live Cam.


I can track my present and past interests based on the subjects of my blog posts.


For example, while watching my Minnesota Viking defeat the Atlanta Falcons 42 to 21 - I ate my fill of Falcon trounce, served with humiliation gravity, and agony of defeat mashed potatoes.


I’m aware that I love using the Oxford or Harvard comma.  This is a comma that’s used before the conjunction in a list of three or more items.

This is my loaf of Ciderboys ™ Blackberry Wild bread


I love eating my hard cider bread.  I wonder if I and other people interested in baking can create a bakery featuring this type of bread.

For Frank, I bought the 99 Brand Holiday Ornament Set.


I hope Frank enjoys drinking the beverages, and then putting these ornaments on his Christmas tree.
