Termites, Sharks and Rats

When I came back from lunch today, this truck was parked outside the Starbucks


Termites I can see, but sharks as pests? On a houseboat maybe, but not in a completely landlocked city where I live.

I just thought this was a little bit funny to see.
One of those little oddities seen around town.
See below for one more.





Trader Joe's had something interesting a few days ago...


This just struck me as odd, but if I were advertising for crackers, I might have put something other than a rat on an in store advertisement, but thats just me.

Again, just another one of those oddities.

Okay

I have thought a little bit as to why I don't blog more than I do. Mainly.. I suck at writing. That being said, I have been advised by friends who do read the blog that I should write more, no matter the subject, and it would best to get the practice. So, to that end... here I am.

I went to Vegas again a week ago, and this time it was bit better. Flying instead of driving, met up with my friend Donna again, and I also went to a Cirque de Soleil show. The show is called "Love" and is set to Beatles music. I really enjoyed the show, and I would highly recommend it for any Beatles fan.
Here is the opening to the box office, and the theater entrance in down the hallway under the flag on the ceiling.

Here is another picture down the hallway. This was kind of a neat setup. The floor here where you see the blue transitioning to red does a moving action.



















Here is a link to a youtube video giving some previews of the show. It was well worth the cost of the ticket, about $140 per.

This is a neat little lounge called "Revolution" Of course, Beatles themed.
















Here is a pic of the kitten in the pool that they have over there. Granted.. its a 600 pound kitten.














Finally, flying home, pretty good to see the Valley again.

















I will be attempting to blog more, even if its a boring topic. So with that, enjoy!
