What would a parade be without creepy clowns?

Your gas prices are insane! I just filled up this afternoon at $2.88 a gallon for regular unleaded.
That's the Socialist Republic of Oregon for ya. Washington is even worse. Idaho is typically a full dollar less but still ridiculous. Add to that, we're in an out-of-the- way costal town... Prices are are somewhat better in Lincoln City and Newport.
That’s too bad, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it evens out in other areas. I know housing prices are ridiculous in Florida now, not to mention food prices (especially in restaurants).
Years ago visiting the Big Apple - (NYC) during winter. This was my daughter’s first time seeing snow (albeit it was very light snow that fell)
Out here on the left coast, I think it is what I call the "California influence." Princes for everything are astronomical in California, mostly due to government interference. Economic pressures in other states, particularly the socialist republics of Oregon and Washington, who admire their big brother to the South, come from a number of sources. Mrs. Abcaines and I noticed that as we crossed the Rockies last year, prices became much more reasonable.
Puppy’s first time on the boat in the Gulf.
Mom and Dad were cleaning out their old garage and came across a box of old pics.
I'd almost forgotten about the scale model of the tabernacle I built back in '91, when I decided to pay attention to the details in Exodus.

The topmost covering, the dimensions of which aren't specified, was to be made of 'badgers' skins'...maybe. Apparently there is some uncertainty about how to translate the Hebrew there. The Septuagint specifies 'skins of a blue color, '. So I went with that.
Most models show the flat roof, and the directions I purchased as well as the commentaries I consulted favored the flat roof model as well, so I went with that.
It didn't seem to make sense to me, and I'd seen models with a pitched roof. I'd guess that's why the dimensions weren't specified. The outermost covering had to be for the protection from the elements, and whatever shape and size had to work.
It would have to have its own framing, too, because the framing prescribed for the holy places would barely stand up against a good wind, let alone a gully-washer.

For kicks and grins I just searched "scale model New Jerusalem", found this digital 3D model on line.
It seems the artist took some liberties for the sake of spectacle, but clearly, if it were a literal city of the literal measurements, it just wouldn't fit.

That’s impressive! I was shooting basketballs and catching fish in ‘91.

Southern plantation (unfortunately, I don’t recall where I took this picture, but I think it was in North Carolina)
