Small Town U.S.A.

08/22/2021

Photographs

I went for a quick visit to my parent’s new house and basically relaxed for a few days. I didn’t want to do anything that had me running around all over the city. Now if only the plane rides had been without crying children and people complaining how personal alcohol was no longer served on

08/14/2021

Las Vegas, Photographs

I finally made it to Resorts World on the LV Strip. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. The hotel and casino is definitely a work in progress, but what isn’t these days.

All I Have is a Branch

Photographs, Random Posts

Give them an olive branch. You know the statement. Here is my olive branch in the form of a few photos. Since I no longer work from home, my commute eats up more of my time as well as learning a new job. There’s a lot of information to learn and when I get home

Journal Entry Type #79: Forget My Life for a Day or Week but No More Than That!

Nature, Photographs, Writing

I made the decision to go out in nature and do a little hiking today. I brought someone along with me so I couldn’t go as far and that was probably a good thing. I kept putting it off this week because working on my Yoda puzzle is so much more exciting. Okay, yeah right.

LV Strip from Inside the Car

08/30/2020

Photographs, Random Posts

Took a stroll down LV strip last night and things are building up in the ever changing world. Certain restaurants I went to are completely shut down due to COVID. It make me sad because these restaurants were not chain restaurants and there is no where else to find them. I try to keep beating

Photos: Sand and Pine Cones

06/28/2020

Photographs

Instead of devoting the whole day to writing, I put sand in bottles and liked how the light was coming through the blinds so I took a picture. I also colored after work yesterday and now, I’m going to return to my rewriting but wanted to post these. It was mighty hot outside and it’s

Lake Mead in Nevada

05/23/2020

Nature, Photographs

I got out of the apartment today. Went to Lake Mead. I already forgot it’s Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. even though I work this coming Monday. Therefore, I forgot it would be busier than usual and plus people have been cooped inside due to the C virus. There were A LOT of tents,

What Stayed with Me: Roddy McDowall as Ariel in “The Tempest”

Made for TV Movies, Photographs, Random Thoughts

“Before you can say ‘come and go,’ And breathe twice and cry ‘so, so,’…” I remember coming across the picture on the left, both originally published in Life Magazine and taken by photographer, Eliot Elisofon. I had gotten somewhere during high school. I’m not sure where because I didn’t subscribe to this magazine, but when

Two Things I’d Like To Get Back

04/21/2020

Photographs, Random Posts

It’s very simple. I’d like to get my flexibility back although I was never that flexible. I’d also like to get a tolerable shape of my face and my body back. Neither one is the shape I’d like it to be. I’m trying my best (sort of) through it all. I miss the one spot

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

02/07/2020

Las Vegas, Photographs

The only wildlife I saw was stuffed and indoors. I picked the right day to go there as it was warm outside. There was a nice 13 miles scenic route you can drive. I stopped at a few outlook areas and will definitely going to come back at a later time to explore the area.

Las Vegas, Photographs

In 1973 Forrest Mars Sr. retired and in 1980 he opened Ethel M. Chocolates in Nevada. He was the person responsible for creating Milky Way in 1923 , Mars in 1932, and M&M’s in 1941. You know the candy that “melts in your mouth, not your hands.” Peanut M&M’s were introduced in 1941 and almond
