Silent UK
I found this blog after reading an article about the airplane grave yard that they visited in California. An impressive 200+ planes are there for parts. Too bad I didnt know about it when I was out in Cali. I would have paid it a visit! One of these days I will get around to posting the pictures I took of an demolished Lockheed Martin manufacturing facility near the Burbank Airport. They were taken with infrared film, back in the 90's so I had to scan in the negatives. This was a laborious process!

Atlas Obscura
I read an article on Atlas Obscura about a creepy island that was haunted by the spirit of a young girl. One of the islands residents was convinced that the only way to ward off the spirit was to hang dolls in the trees near the spot where she passed. They still hang in the trees, 10 years after his death by drowning. An appropriate story for October...

Soviet Arcade Machines!
The Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines
I dont know why I never thought about this before. Maybe as a Cold War kid I thought that Russians didnt have any free time. Apparently they had some and they appeared to enjoy arcades much like we did. Here is a site dedicated to 70's and 80's era Soviet Arcade machines. They are awesome to me in their own way. Im wondering if they had pinball machines. Surely they must have!!
