I’ve just been imagining going 200+ miles per hour down the strip. 😂

Then again, if you get the right cab driver, you don’t have to just imagine it. 😵‍💫

Walls AND grandstands, I mean.

Thank you! Hopefully all the F1 stuff is taken down by the time you get out here. I love F1, but it’s a bit of a mess here right now as they dismantle all the walls in grandstands. I’m currently listening to loads of banging on the street far below as they take apart barricades.

Thank you! 🙂 Not exactly a raver of a birthday, but unless it’s actually a rave I don’t think I’d be interested.

Granted I have enough grey in my beard now they’d probably think I’m a narc.

Absolutely!

It’s always amusing being around younger coworkers who are on their first Vegas trip for work.

Reminds me that there is no way in hell that I would ever want to be 22 again. 😂

I’m such a non-Vegas guy. I don’t gamble, I don’t go to strip clubs, I’ve been here enough the restaurants aren’t a big deal…

Thank you and ohhh that sounds like a very bad idea. 😂

Heck, I could probably put one together with all the varieties in my cabinet right now. 😬😂

That would carry more weight if his police department hadn’t gassed and shot less lethals at reporters and protestors last week.

Then don’t protect the Feds. Don’t do crowd control, don’t do traffic control, don’t get in the way of protesters, no matter what.

Arrest any federal agent breaking a state law, slam their head to the pavement and throw cuffs on them, and then we might fucking believe it.

Noem has hated Walz since she was running South Dakota. I think she’s pissy that Walz has Flanagan as Lt Gov while she’s been very publicly banned from all tribal lands in her own state.

He is truly a garbage excuse for a human.

Got a very early start this morning Minnesota time. Airports plus large conference booth duty is a lot of miles and hours. 😵‍💫
