“35 years of German unity are a reason to celebrate. Reunification was not a given, but the achievement of courageous people who stood up for freedom and democracy. It remains our task to reach out to one another—East, West, North, and South. Our diversity makes us strong.”

@YouCanBetonThat LOVED the music at the end! Sorta sounds like George Harrison meets Grand Funk Railroad! Very talented and a great listen. Love the podcast!

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary. I joined Twitter, not X. Sad to see what has happened to the world since.

This is soooo up my alley!!! I love Rube Goldberg machines (hell I went to Purdue!!!) This must have taken WEEKS if not MONTHS to setup and test!! Bravo sir!!!

@WestgateVegas Wait, what??? Col. Tom said I had to do HOW many shows??

Caption this photo ⚡ Best one gets two tickets to see The King Comes Home.

@Misnomer Probably an Ibanez! 😆

So what is the guitar supposed to be? A Rickenbacker? Some kind of amorphous Strat shape that doesn’t run afoul of any copyrights? The one in Florida is more or less a Les Paul. This one - can’t put my finger on it.

@historyinmemes Shoot. For a second there, I thought NASA astronauts had discovered a pack of 1969 Topp’s baseball cards on the moon! 😲

On April 23, 1972, Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke made his third and final moonwalk, accompanied by fellow astronaut John Young. During their exploration of the Descartes Highlands with the Lunar Rover, Duke left a unique token on the lunar surface: a photograph of his family. The photo features Duke, his wife Dorothy, and their two sons, Thomas and Charles, seated on a park bench. Remarkably, for over 40 years, this family portrait, along with Duke's boot print, has remained undisturbed on the moon. In a symbolic way, Duke not only brought his family to the moon, but they also stayed there indefinitely.

@photobram What a wonderful space in which to display your work! Thank you for the personal walkthrough! 🌠

The next day, on my 72nd birthday, “Oaxacan Sketchbook” opened at Galería La Mano Mágica. it was a very different set of photographs, from my first visit here in 1996 to my most recent in 2022. Another walk-through:

I still bear the scars of lower-middle class childhood. Good to know I’m not alone. 🕯️

🥩 🙏🏻 @PlazaLasVegas

Trop was people.

Farewell Tropicana, thank you for 67 years of Spectacle. ✨

@earlyreports @VitalVegas @OleRed Agree. Who wants to drag an empty glass around the strip, not to mention having to pack it and carry it home?

@VitalVegas @OleRed $11 for side salad. No. And I don't want the glass. I keep hearing I should check out Durango...

Food and drinks @OleRed.

@Misnomer Not sure what airline that is, but they’ve got a leg up.

And that’s how I met your mother.

@FatDag @TheIndianaPizza @PapaJohns That looks delicious!! What did you order toppings-wise? I want to replicate that!! 😋🤤

Santa’s elves are working overtime tonight! @TheIndianaPizza @PapaJohns

@Misnomer I didn’t think you were an Alfred Hitchcock fan! So much culture!

There was a strict “no political talk” restriction at Thanksgiving, so I just brought a cheese board and kept my mouth shut.

@Misnomer Nice.

@145tech Oui.

Finally, a nightclub themed after the greatest gas station porn mag of all time. I see you read my letters.

@Misnomer Bravo, Sir. Bravo.

Thank you for joining me on this tour of Spanish top hats. I hope it has served to remind everyone that I am the greatest Las Vegas writer to ever do it. Thank you, and have a blessed day, everyone.

Join me for some Jaleo, won’t you? This is the Ultimate Gin & Tonic. I take that to mean I’ll drop dead after I drink it. But what a way to go.

@Begas_Vaby You both look better than I do ALL of the time! 😄

Very unusual for us arriving in Vegas in the afternoon on zero sleep. Our body clocks are all over the shop! Only one thing for it - Beer Park, cider and NFL. We look this tired because we are!
