How can the 21st Century already be in the 2nd Quarter?

I won’t try to cross 7 and 8 lane roads here, even with a Walk signal.

I never knew much about Lola Falana until I read the link in this post. Of course, she's younger than I am. 😉

I looked at Meridian when it opened in 1992. Imo, it's had a tough run, and many units are rentals. Not the luxury experience the developers expected.

High Speed Rail. Not optimistic. www.npr.org/2025/09/11/n...

And so it begins: "Get ready for 2026: What to know about Medicare Part D costs To help keep premiums lower and maintain broad drug coverage, many Medicare plans made changes to Part D in 2025 — and more are expected in 2026.

I thought Medicare Advantage was great when I seldom used it. Now that I need orthopedic specialists, not so much. One provider said 6 months for an appt.Another said October 31st. 3rd one said they don’t take my plan. In the meantime, pain 24/7. Afraid a fall damaged my 16 year artificial hip

Monsoon season. Typical Vegas. No rain Friday night at official weather station, LAS airport. My neighborhood, 1 inch which is a big deal.

Summer is officially over at Bellagio. Now, comes Harvest. www.earthcam.com/usa/nevada/l...

A must-read piece on the state of our country.

One of the few times I disagree with Mark Twain:

Labor Day Mackinac Bridge Walk. 33,000 walked it this year. www.mackinacbridge.org/7758-2/

Extreme heat, long operation hours, and an influx of millions of tourists a year creates a perfect storm for bus fleets in Las Vegas, leading to rapid wear-and-tear and more service outages.

It must be my Michigan roots, but I just can't comprehend all these ticky-tacky houses with no yards or space between houses.

Interesting piece on the Greenspuns and Las Vegas Sun newspaper: knpr.org/podcast/neva...

First sunset of unofficial fall.

Labor Day in Detroit, 1960. JFK.

UNLV Digital Collections provides another image of construction on what would be the Hoover Dam looking upriver as it appeared on Aug 31, 1933. bit.ly/45pPtUl

Don't let this happen: >>If states can’t reach a deal ahead of the deadline, the federal government will likely step in and make those decisions for them.<<

Top two firms own 8,000 homes. Ugh.

Summerlin South advanced to the championship game of the Little League World Series, defeating Fairfield, Connecticut, 8-2 on Saturday in the U.S. title game.

Almost World Series champions.

Strip resort leaders ‘batten down the hatches’ in what they term ‘a soft summer’ In this week’s Indy Gaming, how long will the downturn in Las Vegas’ tourism industry continue? Also, a gambling tax repeal will wait until 2026. @thenvindy.com thenevadaindependent.com/article/stri...

Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Las Vegas

I was born in Canada to American parents, who are now Canadians living in Canada while I reside in America with my American husband and kiddos. The 49th used to just be a cut through the brush that we crossed w/o pause. Not anymore. #iamamerican #iamcanadian
