when i was scared of robots

I realised today that my fear/dislike of robots goes back even farther than that Disney special (a behind the scenes of Disneyland/Disney World - they showing Abraham Lincoln from the Hall of Presidents with no skin on his face).

Indy and I went to the Germantown Arts and Crafts festivus thing today. She wore her Superman costume and MAN did everybody love her!
