Here's what you missed if you weren't already reading it. Spoiler: lot of comic strips, so you might enjoy that.
Now that you've been briefly somewhat entertained by all that please enjoy a dozen pictures of Bronner's from bunnyhugger's birthday last year:
Prop from the Rankin/Bass special Rudolph and Medusa Christmas in November!
Bronner's sells prelit trees and there's no reason they have to be boring old green. Some of them go all-out Pride or at least Popsicle.
There are the occasional bright green trees hiding away back there, though. bunnyhugger kept having trouble with her camera's shutter speed being so fast half the LEDs were off in every picture.
Here's a prelit tree that's also pre-decorated in white frosting to look all fresh-snowed.
Did you know Bronner's has a small side museum dedicated to the place's history and, of course, their collection of Hummel figurines? Sorry to spring this on you by surprise!
More precious figurines, including something celebrating the year 2000 there.
And some unpainted Hummels, for everyone who figures someday they'll get around to painting their tabletop roleplaying game mini-figs.
There's also these cases showing the steps in making Goebel or Precious Moments figurines.
Ready for the tour of how the magic happens?
So, the figures start out, like you'd expect, as abrasives, flower, and a pestel.
These then combine to make brushes, spatulas, and (on the right) a kid who kind of looks like pantomime comic strip star Lio.
Finally, they get married. I hope this helps you make your own figurines!
Trivia: The trans-Uranian planets predicted in the calculations of John Couch Adams and Urbain Le Verrier were both a good bit farther out from the sun and more massive than the actual Neptune. (They also forecast much more elliptical orbits than the actual Neptune, which has one of the most nearly circular orbits of all the Solar System's major bodies.) Source: In Search Of Planet Vulcan: The Ghost in Newton's Clockwork Universe, Richard Baum, William Sheehan. Adams and Le Verrier had to make some guesses as there otherwise wasn't enough data just from Uranus's orbital perturbations to find a planet.

Here are links to the resources I used to figure out how to fill out my ballot. I give my conclusions, and I invite you to come to your own, and I hope this effort saves you a headache. $ means an order of magnitude of money backing a candidate, starting at the thousands, so $$$$ means a candidate has single-digit millions of dollars in their campaign.
This is a special, off-year election, which tends to have low turnout, so your vote will carry more weight than usual.
( If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t spend so much on influencing and suppressing it. )jsburbidge) wrote2025-10-09 10:19 pmtaz_39) wrote2025-10-09 08:55 pm
