We're living like skeletons

No time to write up everything that's been going on. Please enjoy Halloweekends pictures while they last. Meanwhile maybe enjoy finding out Why is everyone mad at _Funky Winkerbean_ this week? (December 25, 2022). I haven't had time to answer why they're just getting madder.

At the carp-feeding station in the central lagoon. Can you spot the carp who's most hopeful we're about to toss something in?

More carp or, the way it came out in this picture, just big gaping holes appearing in the middle of the water so please enjoy that slightly distressing thought some.

Sneaking up on the Mine Ride station. The chair and all that are some of the props installed the last couple years to make the place look like it has something to do with mining.

Little alien monster toy and I think a chew-toy hamburger hiding above some of the ride signage.

Antique, I imagine, carriage that's a display prop and an attractive nuisance at the Frontier Town end of the Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad loop.

Going from the back to the front ends of the park you pass through ... uh ... Bonetown or something like that, is the name, with a bunch of setups of skeletons in scenes. Some of them do things that, of course, you can't get a decent picture of.

Skeletons in overalls, working the saw mill, as they will.

View of the Cedar Creek Mine Ride coaster particularly where it has its one big drop and where it levels out to go horizontally above the water line.

Skeleton trying to run elope. The SkyHawk ride's in the background there.

Couple skeletons working a hand cart.

Passing underneath Millennium Force. The very modern roller coaster chops the lower end of the Frontier Trail off, despite how they try to keep the coaster from getting too near the old-timey attractions.

Skeletons working forever at putting out a hotel fire; yes, this is the best shot I got of that, even though it just looks like this guy's shoulder sprung a leak. Sorry.
