Traveling Westward

Cross Country By Car

I’m trying to catch up organizing photos from last fall’s travels.

As I was driving westward from Michigan to Nevada I snapped a bunch of scenes that illustrate varying industry in the intervening states.

Here are some photos that illustrate my car journey to Reno.

As I traveled west from my home, it was clear to me that that industry and the way of life in these other states differs drastically from what I’ve been used to in Michigan.

A Visit to the Museum

Detroit Institute of Arts

This past Friday we had a free day and decided to take a short drive to Detroit.

The plan was to go to the Detroit Institute of Art to experience their large collection of art works.

The plan was to travel to the Detroit Institute of Art to experience their large collection of art works.

Here are two of our granddaughters admiring the statue of Count Alcide Rivalliera at the museum.

As you can seeI had my camera with me. I meticulously photographed some of the pieces that I found the most interesting.

Rather than duplicate the gallery here, please find the DIA photos at our companion site.

They’re Popular

Authentic Companions

I’ve been hearing about these “toys” for a few months.

In January I was attending the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. One evening I wandered over to the Fashion Show Mall to pick up a few items.

While walking though the mall I came across this Pop Mart. I had heard about the global business success of this retail chain owing to their blind box offerings and most recently their “monster toys” known as labubu collectibles.

As with many other products you can probably find look-alike knock-offs. But my understanding is that at times these authentic furry toys were hard to find. Curious, I stopped at this Pop Mart to see if they had labubus in stock.

I was recently gifted the above brown labubu. I’m not sure, but I think it’s name it Toffee.
