Glad they are taking it seriously. 15 Republican senators weren’t even there in the room for today’s hearing. They already made up their mind, so why feign like they listened. And then there’s this.
Surprise!
Jenn and Neil came out and surprised us. Such a nice surprise.
Super Bowl Sunday
Super Bowl Sunday, Brady vs Mahones. Chiefs won last year and I’m looking for them to win back to back. Shakira and J-Lo at the halftime shouldn’t be too bad either. (NOTE: that was last year’S HALFTIME. THIS ONE WAS THE WEEKEND and was horrible!)
Went to casino to eat last nite, and it was packed in the sportsbook. And this was an off strip casino too. Should be a good game.

Congrats to Tom Brady for winning #7. 31-9.
Lol
Now it’s starting
Impeachment Hearing
So Trumps’ FIVE lawyers all quit yesterday. Trump’s strategy, besides not ever paying anyone, is based on “the election was stolen from him”. He didn’t want to hear about any other strategy. Just keep saying the election was stolen,and his 5 lawyers said we are outta here!
Have no fear though, as within 24 hours he found 2 new lawyers. One that represented Jeffrey Epstein, so they know each other from that relationship.
The new lawyers defense is you cant impeach a person after he has left office.
Lunch With Friends Matt and Lannie
Matt and Lannie who lived behind us in Colorado, moved in November to St. George, Utah They came to Las Vegas for the weekend to stock up on alcohol (Utah, ya know), and to eat at a nice restaurant. So on the way back to St. George, we went to lunch with them at the Cornish Pasty Company. They have been to England few times, and love the food, so thought they would enjoy it.
Matt works in the hospitality industry, and with covid, lost his job. He had to move where he could get a job, so that was St. George.
The Cornish Pasty originates from Cornwall (Southwest England) and can be traced back as far as the 1200’s. Mining was once a thriving industry in Cornwall and at that time pasties were baked by the wives and mothers of the tin miners. Pasties were made with a thick crimped edge along one side so the miners could use the crimp as a handle to hold on to while eating. The miners hand would often be covered in arsenic from the mine, so the miners would discard the handle when they were done. The crusts were never wasted though, as many miners believed that ghosts, or ‘knockers’, inhabited the mines, and the leftover crusts would keep these ghosts content. Traditionally, pasties were made with different fillings at each end. One end containing meat and vegetables, and one end with a sweet filling. The sweet end would be marked with an initial so the miners knew what side to eat first. Today, Cornish pasties are filled with steak, potatoes, swede (rutabaga) and onions. At one time Cornwall had nearly 2000 flourishing tin mines, but by the 1880’s tin mining had become a rapidly declining industry. At this time, Cornish miners began emigrating to Michigan’s Upper Peninsular for copper mining bringing pasties with them.
Are you kidding me?!
Trump had a $50,000 golf simulator installed but two days after being sworn in, they are all buzzing that Biden has a Rolex. Trump also had a solid gold toilet installed in the White House.
Seems the Rolex was a wedding present from Dr. Jill Biden.
This Is So Wierd!
It’s only been 2 days, but this is very strange. We have had 2 straight days of press conferences, the press secretary, who is articulate, empathetic, and honest (I haven’t heard any lies, fake news rants, or insults to reporters.) She’s also never stormed off the stage,

in Inspiration, Pandemic, Political
Nice to see leadership. We just passed 400,000 deaths today.
We went to Las Vegas Wetlands
Went to the Las Vegas wetlands first time here but I didn’t have a good lens with me. I will be back.
Colorado Represented by an Alleged Quanon Conspirator?
Can’t believe what is transpiring with Twitter. One of the newly sworn in republican house members, Laura Boebart, who is from Rifle, Co (how appropriate, right?); was seen taking a group on a tour of the Capitol on the day before the insurrection.
She was told during the insurrection along with everyone else to not broadcast any locations on social media, for obvious reasons. She tweeted on her feed that Pelosi left the chambers. Why would she have any reason to do that if not for alerting someone that you don’t have to look in the chambers for her as she isn’t here anymore.
She also tweeted on the morning of the day. It’s 1776.
She should be expelled from the house, along with anyone else who possibly conspired.
At the Capitol
1400 armed national guard troops at the U.S. Capitol. They are not fooling around. Biden will be inaugurated in a week.
Congrats Trump.
Trump impeachment for a second time. 10 Republicans have a backbone.
Hmmm
Meanwhile, In Alabama
They won the national championship tonight, and Nick Saban won his 7th championship. So Alabama decided it would be a good idea during a pandemic to INFECT EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE FUCKING STATE!
Rest In Peace Tommy Lasorda
Well, It’s a Start!
Twitter suspended Trump’s Twitter account permanently.
Well He Is Still President.
Everyone demands resignation or the 25th Amendment, but he is still there. But Facebook has banned him for at least 3 dats, so at Keats there is that…
And In Other News
Today we had a record of nearly 275,000 daily coronavirus cases, and more than 4,100 Americans have died.
He’s Absolutely Insane
It now looks like the 25th Amendment is in play? Twitter deleted two of his tweets. One was the tweet I posted above.
And then this..
Just now at 4:22 p.m. Twitter has blocked the President for the next 12 hours
And two hours later this was tweeted by Jim Acosta
At 17:45 pm
