Outside the storm clouds gathering move silently along the dusty boulevard

Sorry, but with an interview at 10 am tomorrow I haven't had time to write new stuff. Here's pictures from our wandering around the corn maze, though:

The Best Maze building, and the little activity area, as we arrived near enough sunset.

Best Maze Corn Maze, as it promises. They had doughnuts and coffee at the shop but we didn't get any, for some reason.

Chance to grab some pumpkins and hay bales too!

We didn't see people playing it but there was some kind of Skee-Ball-like game available.

Plus these comic foreground standees, for folks who want to put on a scarecrow look.

Every year the maze includes some pictures; here's maps of past year's mazes.

How about the dragon with castle, though? Another one, surely from 2019, had a Saturn V traced out.

A map from their first year, when the place was called Maze-N-Market; bunny_hugger believes this was the first year she visited as she remembered pictures from it.

Enough, now; let's get inside. A sign out front promises free upgrades to some of the haunted houses partnering with Best Maze for this.

And finally my album cover, one of the attendants sitting on lifeguard stands to help people who've gotten completely lost or who need the quickest way to an exit.

Trivia: In 1866 The Black Crook, arguably the first Broadway musical, opened. The program, initially over five hours long, featured a large bast, music, melodrama, specialty acts, and, for the dull stretches, dancing women. James Gordon Bennett, publisher of The New York Herald, attacked it as ``one of the grossest immoral productions that was ever put on stage''. Source: With Amusement For All: A History of American Pop Culture Since 1830, LeRoy Ashby. And I for one can sure see no reason at all to give a title like The Black Crook side-eyes!
