Year 50 Day 172

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on October 21, 2023). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Me in front of IKEA wire racks of stuffed toys, including teddy bears in space suits and UFOs, and with a little green alien toy on one of the UFOs.

Day 172: We went by IKEA this morning, and discovered that there’s currently a space theme in the kid’s sections, with lots of cute goodies. All we came home with was one of the little green aliens (visible at the top right of the photo), but I thought some of my friends might be interested.

We were disappointed to discover that since the last time we were at IKEA, they’ve joined the realm of stores that are almost entirely self-checkout. That’s going to reduce how likely we are to shop there in person.

Bonus photo (apologies in advance for some silly minor innuendo):

Me in IKEA, with a rather alarmed expression under my mask.

We were by the throw pillow covers when I saw this. Maybe it’s just me, but even with being a fan of Vulcans in general, and one Vulcan in particular, I’m just not sure I want to rest my face on Spöck’s säck….
