Trust Not...

I reposted this again on Facebook and Google+ and now on here too, because there are still certain people in this country who need to be hit over the head with this a few more times until they get it. Keep religion out of government and politics!

Truer words were never spoken.

Erasure

This was one heck of a concert last Friday evening at the Palms Hotel & Casino. Erasure blew the roof off the place. I've seen Erasure live in concert several times before, and each one was fantastic and elaborate in its own right. But this concert was less show and more about the music. Which was fine by me. The sound mix and accoustics were phenomenal. It always is at the Pearl Concert Theatre inside the Palms.

Andy Bell can belt it out like he did over 20 years ago. And he is singing better than ever. Our little group of friends was dancing, singing and going crazy nonstop. I probably lost 20 pounds by jumping around like a teenager. Who needs a workout? All one needs is a concert like that.

Erasure was amazing!


Here is the concert review from the Las Vegas Sun and more photos:

Pressing

Interesting images taken from the press over the weekend.

Good point indeed. Taken during the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests in New York City.



I can see how gay marriage can totally mess up this whole traditional marriage value thingy.



Amen!

Science!

This pretty much sums it up.

Unintelligent Design

I've been asking this question myself many times lately...

A Not So Laboring Labor Day

We spent a the most wonderful Labor Day weekend with our friends Cobban and his hubby Ray, whom were driving up from Southern Arizona and staying with us for a few days.

We had a great weather, lots of food, a few cocktails and a lot of fun. And we actually accomplished quite a lot of sightseeing. Red Rock Canyon, the Las Vegas Strip, old downtown Las Vegas, a free Howard Jones concert at Fremont Street Experience and Cirque du Soleil's "Love" at the Mirage.

Did I mention that it was one heck of fun weekend?

Below are some impressions.

Ray is educating himself about the natural history at the new visitors center of red Rock Canyon.

I think George and Cobban should stop growing any taller already.

Cobban is posing as the 'fifth' Beatle at the entrance of Cirque du Soleil's 'Love' at the Mirage. And he is an avid Beatles fan. He really enjoyed the show, which is a feast of amazing visuals and sounds. A must for every Beatles fan.

Am I?

Um...lately not so much.
