The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer
Stacking the Shelves is hosted by Tynga's Reviews
It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Book Date

So the chaos continues.  

The HoHoHo readathon started on Nov. 19th and you can find my post here. How is everyone? I have lots of videos this time- I know! Have you heard of the raccoon man from Canada? He's been going viral lately- you can see the one here that caught my eye. Along with raccoon guy I have like 4 walking tour videos- they're all good so if you like them I suggest saving them maybe for when you're bored. 

It's Friday and that means pizza night. Hope everyone has a great weekend and a great week ahead! 
 

Song of the week


PULP COVER OF THE WEEK: 


BOOKISH LINKS 

This is a short tour- about 5 mins or so. Red light district? Yikes! And check out Godzilla at 3:10! Also, Christmas lights at the end.  


This one is amazing and is a favorite area (I've seen it in previous videos- no I haven't been there!). Beautiful view at 1:28.

      Sea is awesome, espcially viewed at a wider resolution

    I read Poison in Jest! My memory might be fuzzy, but I don't think it involved a scantily clad lady 😂. Actually, I LOVE John Dickson Carr (though that one isn't one of his best). Have you ever read his books? He's famous for his locked room mysteries.

    Enjoy your weekend! (And I think Raccoon Guy is a little bit crazy to surround himself with all those furry little guys.)

    I hadn't heard of the Raccoon Guy videos before. I can see why the videos are popular. :-) I hope you have a great weekend, Greg.

    I wish we had raccoons in Scotland, I know people call them garbage bears but they look so cute!

    Hope you are recovering well!

    You would think the raccoon guy would be afraid of rabies. Raccoons make up 40% of all reported rabies cases. 😯 I'd throw the food to them. 😛 They are fun to watch, though. 🤗

    And the chaos continues...

    Have a wonderful new week. 🌞

    Yeah, the chaos continues, and I'm tuning it out. Too frustrating to watch.

    Those are some cute, chunky racoons. What happens when he runs out of hotdogs?! Hope he keeps his cat inside!

    Greg, I really hope you are enjoying taking part in the HoHoHo Readathon and there some great videos. I am loving those tubby, super cute raccoons - They're reminding me of Oy from Stephen King's Dark Tower books. 🦝 Take care and happy reading! 😃

    I hadn't seen the raccoon man, it's amazing ! I love the walking videos and the art, especially the ones with the trees. The late evening pic I think I have seen in an anime ? Can't remember which one. Anyway, have a nice sunday !

    THe HoHoHo Readathon seems like a great way to transition into the holiday season. I really need to work harder at finding more readathons over the year. And there’s a racoon man? I am definitely watching that video.

    Thank you for all the videos:). Raccoon Man is either very confident or a tad crazy. And I'm a bit shocked at all the road traffic allowed along the beach - really?? There wasn't a single person just walking along by the strandline, because of the procession of cars and bikes, which seems really sad to me. But I suppose it's just different cultural expectations. As ever, many thanks for the wonderful pictures and I hope the coming week is a good one for you, Greg.

    Those raccoons are super chunky!! He must feed them frequently! Also, I would be worried about rabies. But they are kinda cute.

    My husband's cousin feeds raccoons like cats - she leaves bowls of food out for them and about half a dozen come up on her back deck every night. They're cute but it always creeped me out a bit! That is crazy that he's essentially hand feeding them but it is fun to watch! Hope you're having a great week and have a lovely Thanksgiving!
