Phantom of the Opera

I watched Phantom of the Opera tonight. I think I saw the old, old movie when I was a child. The story wasn't unknown to me, but I've never seen the stage production or this movie before. The movie got me wandering around looking for pics... http://fanficsetwallpapers.free.fr/ Website that has free wallpapers dedicated to Phanton of the Opera, and much more. http://celtic-hearts.com/ Gerard Butler fan site. Will Ferrell's The Phantom of the Opera Antonio Banderas as The Phantom Of The Opera http://sjl.funnyordie.com/v1/view_video.php?viewkey=3efbc24c7d2583be6925 Speaking of Will Ferrell ... I enjoy his slightly obnoxious humor. But, not in The Landlord video that is going viral. Using children like this doesn't amuse me. Then again, slackers that don't pay their landlords aren't really amusing characters.

US Flag in 1864

On October 31, 1864, President Lincoln signed the proclamation that made Nevada the 36th state. Being wartime, Battle Born became one of the state's nicknames (saw it on Jeopardy once). In 1864 most of the towns that make Nevada famous today were yet unborn. Back then Virginia City was where it was happening. The Comstock has given Nevada another one of its nicknames... The Silver State. This 36-star flag once flew proud in a mining town. These days it is enclosed in glass so you can see the reflections of slot machines in the glass -- Betty Boops being my favorite of those. :) Battle Born Bloggers uses an image adapted from Nevada's flag.

1847 Colt Walker

The placard says: This big, powerful .44 Caliber Revolver is the Famous Magnum developed with the help of Captain Sam Walker of the United States Mounted Rifles and saw extensive service in the Mexican War. The largest of all the Colt Revolvers and Authentically reproduced, it weighs a mighty 4 lbs. 8 oz., has a length of 16 inches with a 9 inch precision rifle barrel. This is still the most powerful revolver made. This days you can win it in a slot machine at the Delta Saloon in Virginia City, Nevada. Thus, this isn't a great image because it is taken trough glass.

Finding My Way To Work

Garmin StreetPilots came up today because my brother stopped by on my day off and told me that these doohickies are selling like hotcakes at Amazon.com (he still works there). They go through pallets of them. He estimates hundreds each day even before they were 50% off (this model to the right is on sale). I've driven several hundred thousand miles over the last 20+ years. I've driven all over the West Coast and a few places back East. And only once did I get lost. It lasted about 15 minutes before I managed to get hold of the barge company on the phone and have them reissue the directions. I was in the Port of Seattle. I'm convinced that the Port of Seattle would fry a Garmin StreetPilot. If I were to buy one of these, I can see the following happen... I punch in the directions to work. (Note: I already know where it is, but what else would I use it for if I bought a Garmin StreetPilot?) Garmin: Back up. I back up. Garmin: Straight away for 1/4 mile. I drive straight away
