So I went up the Dajti Ekspres overlooking Tirana and if you look west you can see the Adriatic Sea. Really cool but a bit freaky going up in those cars

My Epstein-related story. When I was in college at UW Madison, I did a bit of modeling for East Bay sports apparel catellog. It was easy, fun and paid well for a college student. Anyway somehow I found an advertisement that a new york modeling company was coming to Chicago

So in the summer of 1991 or 92 just after graduating college, I went to an audition at a hotel convention hall in Madison and was invited to go to Chicago. I was a bit hesitant because I had to pay $100 to go. Well I went thinking I could get a few catalog gigs…maybe more

While there, I was disgusted. I had to be the oldest one in there, and I was only 22ish. Nearly everyone else was younger…way younger like 13 to 18 years old. It felt really creepy and just like this video shows, kids were paraded around like cattle
January 30, 2026 at 7:25 PM
I kept thinking how could these parents let these kids do this. But I also thought maybe this is how auditions work. I ended up getting picked by a few agents. One agent freaked me out by saying I was a bit too short and I was a bit too old. Too old?

I just thought they scammed me out of $100 and hadn’t thought of it since. This video resurfaced over the summer and when I heard the names Casablancas and Elite Modeling, I put 2 and 2 together. This was likely part of the Epstein child trafficking youtu.be/R9hX3YHiSKs?...

Even though Albania is quite inexpensive, the value of the dollar has tanked versus the LEK over the past year. In fact the lowest ever. Like everything Trump touches…it turns to shit. But hey billionaires got a huge tax cut

Some sights around the center of Tirana Albania

The number of small shops in Tirana is insane. On top of that there are little markets crammed in some alleys

Do you see the face. I didn’t initially until I saw others photos. Tirana, Albania

Interesting graphic. Precipitable water levels have been rising over the years due to a warming climate. This is atmospheric science 101. A warmer climate will increase the amount of water vapor available. We will see increased flooding and more potential energy to create stronger storms.

Still doing it on a hot, humid and windy day

Congrats to my friend Colin for winning a seat on the Dane County Board. He’ll serve the Madison area honorably.

This creepy “military” plane has been flying over Madison all day. Reminds me of a dream I had 10 years ago.
June 13, 2025 at 8:11 PM
You can’t make this up. Rain/snow always develops over Madison and Dane county and trains right over the area. (Baraboo bluffs locally west and the general slow down of broad scale storms over the Great Lakes) meteorologists let’s discuss.

These radar images worry me.
