Let's finish off that Michigan's adventure trip, now. Good luck guessing what the next batch of pictures will be.

We closed the day at the Trabant, which gave an unsatisfying short ride, and the Tilt-a-Whirl, which went on just a few seconds short of too long.

Noticed in the gift shop this action figure of Snoopy wearing a raccoon cap, the way he did in, like, three panels of the comic back in June of 1955. ( https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1955/06/28 and https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1955/06/30 )

Also in the gift shop? A lot of Snoopy's pink'sona. Also his blue'sona.

Trivia: The whippletree (or whiffletree), a sort of branching harness, first appeared in the eleventh century, a little after the horse collar did, as a way to allow a team of horses (or other drawing animals) to pull a particular load, while equalizing the stress on each animal while turning the pulled load. It also decoupled the pulled car from sudden jerks or other small shocks from the pulling animals. Source: Prime Mover: A Natural History of Muscle, Steven Vogel.
