In the real world, Sinclair back in the day had some cool looking gas stations that might even be fancier than Flo’s! (And ‘Service Station’ meant greeting and pumping your gas at the pump … do they still do that in Oregon & NJ?) Toy Story “Dinoco” – a brontosaurus just like Sinclair. By Toy […]

Sesame Street’s GROVER reads one of the greatest books ever, “The Monster at the End of This Book” in video form! Great book and Grover – GREAT ACTOR! It’s a thriller and downright scary! Still in book form also – AMAZON LINK. There’s a sequel but it’s not very good. Yep, now instead of reading […]

Thanks, “Mark T.” for the great photos. Suzi has been updated for 2021 but it’s really not a huge change. As a girl carm she has always had the eyelid line (& lashes), they are just thicker. The eyes are slightly but not a huge difference. The windows are the more correct gray windows. I […]
