To Flanders as the devil.
Except he eats all of the donuts in hell.
The Twilight Zone monster on the wing of the airplane.
The Shining.
Homer affecting the present by interacting with the past.
They're rich, but there are no donuts.
Except it rains donuts, although only after Homer goes back to the past. Reminds me of a short story where it rains diamonds on another planet, which are very destructive, but the people harvest them to sell to Earth.
Now they all have lizard tongues.
Homer can live with that.
Probably my favorite one, in 3D.
It was very cool looking.
And then he ends up in the real world.
In Los Angeles.
The next episode of Cheers happened to be a Halloween one; that's good timing.

The we went to the Colligan Theater at the Tannery Arts Center.
To watch the play Rough Crossing.
The stage.

The FDA finally said that phenylephrine is crap for colds.
However, pseudoephedrine actually works.
Unfortunately, you can't grab it off the shelves any more because they make meth out of it, so you have to have a pharmacist hand it to you so they can track your purchases. At least you can still get it without a prescription.
And they have the cheaper generics.
Another hummingbird feeder broke. I think the cats knock them down when they walk along the fence.

Us.
The band and singers were quite good.
Fun background.
Guitarists.
