Thoughts on the new look at the Flamingo Las Vegas? 🤔🦩 New lobby bar. New check-in area. VIP upgrades. They finally finished the lobby remodel and it’s a total vibe shift. Modern, bright, and that new lobby bar is a great touch. Highlights of the remodel: • 🍸 New Lobby Bar: A perfect spot to grab a drink right after arrival. • 🪞 Stunning Mirror Accents: Gold-trimmed mirrors throughout the space. • 🦩 Flamingo Wallpaper: A fresh, vibrant take on the classic theme. • 🏨 Revamped Check-in: Faster kiosks and a more welcoming reception area. And with that center-Strip location? Flamingo might quietly be turning back into one of the best values in Las Vegas. 🦩🎰 #LasVegas #Vegas #FlamingoLasVegas #VegasStrip

A Pearl beer delivery truck in San Antonio. I don't have a date for this but I think it's about 1957. Perhaps some of you truck folks can comment. In any case, it's Saturday night in Texas and I kind of wish I had some old-school ice cold Pearl beer to drink. Remember the pictograms they used to have in the bottle caps?

I have explored space.
I have explored time.
Now… I explore distortion. Yes. You read that correctly.
I am releasing a HEAVY METAL album. Thirty-five metal virtuosos. Thunderous guitars. Chaos with purpose.
Covers of legends like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest — and a few originals forged in the same cosmic fire. This project is, quite literally, a gathering of forces. Loud imagination. Honest intensity. Unapologetic exploration. At 94, one does not slow down. One turns the volume up. So prepare yourselves.
We are about to boldly headbang where no one has headbanged before. 🤘 Stay tuned. The metal voyage begins this year.

Boss: Your performance this year has been outstanding. Employee: Thank you. Boss: You have given 200%, stayed late when we needed you, and you are an invaluable team member. Employee: I appreciate you noticing. Boss: And that is why you have earned a “meets expectations” on your annual performance review. Employee: Didn’t you just agree that I went above and beyond?

Boss: Only for the employees who received an “exceeded expectations” on their review. Employee: Silence... Boss: Let’s talk about goals for the coming fiscal year. Employee: Yeah, one of my goals moving forward is to start “acting my wage.” Boss: What? Silence follows...
