A loss in the family

[zenmondo]

So Conor wanted to play with his brand new radio-controlled Jeep. So we did. He also wanted to load it up with Star Wars action figures. So we did. In the course of playing with said radio-controlled jeep, one of the figures got lost. Chewbacca is no longer with us. It was a Chewbacca figure older than Conor is. It is either the Chewbacca I had as a boy in the 70s, or the reproduction of Chewie from 1995. I am not sure which. I think its the '95 Chewie from the color I noticed when he was not missing. There is a very small area in which he got lost, but I combed it for over 20 minutes with no luck whatsoever.

But lets keep things in perspective. Conor and I had a lot of fun losing him. :)

So speaking of radio-controlled toythings, I learned from a Ludwig von Drake cartoon last night where the word radio comes from. Its "oidar" spelled backwards you see.

Fun with Radio Controlled Cars. Things have been disappearing in weird ways all over the place lately... Feel like writing? lemme know.

Fear not, I once lost a Chewbacca in my back yard and found it again nearly 10 years later in a potted plant.

I found a Darth Vader (70s vintage) sans light saber and cape while digging up a place for my garden.

Perhaps Chewie will turn up again..
Perhaps he's having great adventures exploring our planet, so far away from Kashyyyk
