Gaggle of Ghouls

There are no bones about it. Home Depot rules when it comes to Halloween props displays.

I had to go to Home Depot to get a hose coupler Lowe’s* doesn’t carry and was greeted by a massive display of Halloween props. When it comes to skeletons, they a well-stocked.

While I was photographing this display, a man walked up and said his wife looked like the witch. I told him not to let her hear that. He said no, seriously, they really look like each other. It’s probably good to have a prop as a doppelgänger. As the prop is less likely to get you in trouble.

The Mash Monster is bizarre.

I’m not sure what the black skeletons with the bat or cat ears are.

Costco’s Halloween selection is lame, with a scrawny mummy. Costco has Christmas stuff already.

I found this guy to be the scariest of all. Imagine him going medieval on your nuts!

*I don’t prefer Lowe’s over Home Depot. Lowe’s is more convenient.

Myths & Monsters

The two lectures tonight on “The Uses of Norse Mythology” by Rory McTurk, University of Leeds and “”Real’ Monsters: Medieval Belief, Wonder, and the Wonders of the East” were fantastic.

Water was turned into the irrigation ditch 5 weeks ago, and after more than a dozen attempts to irrigate, I finally got every irrigated yesterday. I had gotten up between 2:00 am and 4:00 am every morning since last Saturday, went out with the monsters, and attempted to irrigate 3 times before I got everything watered. I also got a decent shot of the Big Dipper in the pitch blackness in the early morning.

A couple of the photos are somewhat monstrous today, with a monsterously strange car with a v-twin engine in front of the radiator, but I only got a partial shot of it from a quick drive-by I snapped as I crossed Central on my way to class. I also discovered that a host of “light demons” had attacked my camera on one of my shots of the lecture of the Staffordshire Hoard on Tuesday night, after I downloaded the photos from my second camera tonight.
