DCdyssey 5: Grab onto my armoured mumu, Josef Stalin. It is time we leave this place.

Breakfast, and then GTFO as the plan goes.

I think, all considered, this was a good trip with my family. I didn't get to see friends, but as much as I'd have liked that I must admit this was not the main goal of the trip. I was out here to A) See the pandas B) spend time with my sister and grandparents and C) get a little sightseeing in, and I think I achieved all of these quite well, and we kept pretty sane all things considered.

Plus, Rhodocrosite!

Meanwhile, Evel Knievel died, in bed, in his sleep. I'm pretty sure someone in Vegas lost money over that.

Me, I just remember an interview where he explained "I got into being a daredevil because I spent most of my 20s robbin' banks and crackin' safes, and the bikes were a lot less likely to get me shot."

We'll pour a brew out over 14 buses for you, Evel. Sleep well. (Huh. Apparently his last ever jump was at King's Island in Cinci.)

See everyone again soon. Plus pictures!

What the heck? Was "make peace with Kanye West" like the last thing on his to-do list?

...If you haven't seen the Kanye video in question with the rocket stunt, grand canyon and (not) Wide World of Sports, it's great.

It also very briefly invokes Lupin III. Any more and it would explode.

Kanye rolls surprisingly deep. That's all I'm sayin'.
