Wow man, can you believe that this was once thought of as a safe place for your baby! My family had a Corvair and I recall playing in that back window where the baby is. Boy did I just date myself or what! I found this great article on how Ralph Nader basically killed the car which still makes John unhappy!
The cell tower is where Bonnie Springs used to be until around three years or so ago. I’m still sad that the place was sold to evil developers. The tower is the only cell service in this small valley which is west of Las Vegas Valley. Here is another article on the purchase of Bonnie Springs Ranch.
McCarran International Airport was recently renamed in support of a political figure from Nevada. I absolutely despise this person’s politics but I need to mention that this man has passed away. I have no hate at all, I simply dislike anything left of rightwing politics.
I find it insulting, and the old name was for a respected military man with the last name of McCarran. Anyway, these are iPhone photos from 2019, the tower photo was taken from the aircraft, and the other is obviously in the terminal. Those machines are everywhere in this city including gas stations.
Why not put one in the stall so you can get poorer while taking care of business? That’s a joke, okay? 😂
At $4.93 for regular 87 octanes, driving has become more and more costly. As soon as the pandemic slowed down, the price of fuel and food skyrocketed. I call this human greed.
These damn signs are such a blight on the city! And, once the elections are over the folks running for office take an inordinate amount of time to take the damn signs down. Maybe Bob did have a few more beers…
(This is supposed to be humorous!)
Thanks very little to those damned pigeons which I knew would come but didn’t know that they would try to feed from the tiny feeder and come in such numbers, the bird feeder is gone and won’t return.
I can hang something else on that pole. Pigeons are a real problem around Las Vegas, they are flying rats that can damage your property and cover it with copious quantities of shit too. Thanks for nothing, you airborne rats! They are already so fat, I’m not gonna add to their obesity. 😂
And, I do not mean the rat pack that once roamed the Las Vegas Strip of course! These Rock Pigeons have taken over the feeder as the photos clearly show. I watched them for a while on and off this afternoon. They have effectively driven off the smaller birds that I wanted to attract to this small feeder. Of course, the pigeons need to eat too but not like this. Bummer… These photos are not altered.
Are you streaming your television programs? Did you know that there are over 300 streaming services today? Neither did I until I did some research on whether or not I should switch to streaming instead of my cable service today. Over 300? That’s ridiculous!
The consensus is that almost 50 percent of Americans are frustrated with seeing their programming being moved to a streaming service (like me) and having to have more than one subscription to view the programs they like the most.
There are two seasons of Star Trek: Picard that I have never seen because I simply haven’t wanted to take on the extra cost. My monthly cable bill is already ridiculously expensive!
So, in this way, these streaming companies competing for your paycheck are ripping you off either by moving programming to a streaming platform or by the consumer not wanting the extra monthly bill. I know that I have left out some important points and facts here but I think the point has been made.
I once again chose to keep my cable service which is bundled with a 300MB internet download speed. It’s all about the dollars and no sense!
Pigs, some folks are just human pigs!
These iPhone photos were taken the other day just before landing at McCarran International. Look closely and you will see the white bathtub ring that indicates where the lake level should be which gives you a good idea of just how low the lake really is. The photo quality isn’t good at all but you get the idea.
