Things that are new: Candy Corn Hershey's Kisses

To round out our trio of "new" things that really don't sound good today, we have Candy Corn Hershey's Kisses. I was expecting white chocolate with a candy corn flavor. Instead, I got something that looked like a candy corn, tasted a little like candy corn, but wasn't the same material. I guess if you like candy corn, this one is for you. Otherwise, it's a novelty and about as good as the candy corn Jone's soda. 3 out of 10 in my book... others rated it higher since they love candy corn.

Things that are new: Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses

Another item that doesn't sound so good. For these, I think the bottom line is, if you like pumpkin pie, you MIGHT like these. They aren't great, but are far better than the Skittles. I give them a 6 out of 10 since they are original and slightly tasty.

Things that are new: Chocolate Mix Skittles

Found these at a KMart. The idea really just sounds bad. After tasting the "S'mores" and "Brownie Batter", I think my instincts were right on... 1 out of 10 on the goodness scale. Vanilla tastes like something besides the title. Chocolate caramel sorta tastes like it sounds. One thing is for sure, I wouldn't want to eat these in a dark theater... the flavors don't go well together and are not good. Save your money and avoid this one!

Colorado Balloon Festival

From 8/31/08: The annual Colorado Springs balloon festival.

So many things come to mind...

This is a picture from a couple of months ago... never managed to get it on the blog. Let's see, where to start... both books by the same author... titles go good together. They were sitting just like this on a shelf in a book store in the airport. Feel free to use the comments to post what you think.

Mommy, what are those monkies doing?

No comment needed...

Odd street graffiti

I saw this on the corner near Starbucks in downtown Colorado Springs. I think it had to do with the Senior Open. I noticed a few others later, but never quite figured out what they were... anyway, a dolphin coming out of a golf green.

Cake or death?

Cake please! Russ and I went to see Eddie Izzard tonight. He was very good. After the show, he came out and spent some time answering questions. He was very nice about answering the odd questions.

little or crazy

Russ found this place. Not sure what they're selling. Could be some small rocky mountain oysters.
