OK, HamsterFans... Here we go. It's been a while since Our last post because:
-- we drove to Washington DC on the 15th
-- shopped for and rented an apartment
-- bought some furniture to put in said flat
-- drove to Florida on the 18th
-- departed on a cruise to the Bahamas on the 21st
-- came back to celebrate Thanksgiving in Florida on the 24th
-- departed to drive back to Kentucky on the 28th.
Our crowned imperial rodentine head is still spinning. Below, enjoy pix.

Queen Victoria in front of Government House in Nassau. The Bahamas were once oppressed under the colonial rule of the British...

which includes some American folk art penguins (no, I have no idea what their story is):
A long corridor of offices and central lobby now holds the 20th century collection.
In that collection is a room dedicated to this installation of some 200 TV sets. It's flabbergasting!
For those of you who liked the last video, here's another:
