Space Leprechaun and friends from planet Havelock?

Space Leprechaun?

All summer I've looked up and down the Havelock yard for a reappearance of either Space Hopper or Son of Space Hopper. No luck. Ok, technically summer doesn't end until 21 September, but I'm not hopeful they'll show up in the remaining days. 

But, I did see this. A Space Leprechaun? An emissary from a far away world come to celebrate the 6 month anniversary of launching the E. L. Moore eBook on St. Patrick's Day 2023? Inquiring minds don't need to know.

Other sightings of note include this ancient Boston & Maine covered hopper. I think these cars were manufactured around 1980 or so, and if true, that's one long service life. Does the Havelock yard also hold the secret to longevity?

Who knows? Here's another Boston & Maine covered hopper I spotted in Havelock yard back in June 2020.

And look! There're two more sighted in August 2021.

An ancient Templar pyramid?
I don't have any sightings from 2022, but that doesn't mean they weren't there. For me that was the year of an injured shoulder, derecho, and a wrecked car, so I didn't get out much.  

Here's a photo to tide you over until I can find another B&M covered hopper. 

Is this structure, found while exploring the lakes near the Havelock yard, an ancient submerged stone Templar pyramid ?

Of course not. That rock was likely deposited by a retreating glacier about 20,000 years ago and shaped in accordance with its molecular structure by years and years and years of being submerged in moving water.

Ok, found one, here's another from just a few days ago.

Ok, there are a lot of those old B&M blue covered hoppers in Havelock, but they weren't the only anomalies. Other sightings this summer included a big name:


Some protoplasmic lifeforms:


Here are what look like some spermatozoa doing what they do:


 And I couldn't resist shooting this one paparazzi style from the passenger seat of a moving car:

In case you think planet Havelock is only populated with covered hoppers I'll leave you with this teaser:


The search continues.
