Mrs bambu loved New York City...she and her small travel group walked everywhere.
Winter it was.
A true winter wonderland, just like in the movies.

I am sure that I am going to love New York City, I look forward to traveling there eventually.

I attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts which is the oldest professional acting school in the world, with a campus in New York City, as well as a campus at the Charlie Chaplin Studio here in Hollywood, California. I had a lot of great teachers from New York. My favorite teacher was born in Buffalo, and she attended NYU while living in the Village, and she studied with Uta Hagen and Sanford Meisner and all of the great acting teachers in New York City.

I went to college with a guy who owns a Crazy Otto's restaurant in New York City, and he also owns a couple of restaurants in Lancaster, California.

If I was rich I would go see see New York right now. But, I need to earn the money first. After I earn some money I want to travel. I am sure New York will be great.

Salute,

Tony V.

Travel?
Don't forget travel insurance...good travel insurance.

When travelling, best to stay right away from alcohol, apparently many "travel insurance companies" are denying claims where alcohol is/could be the cause of an accident.
Apparently they go searching for your bar receipt, other evidence of alcohol consumption.
Overseas, miss the last step, fall flat on your face, get a brain injury...that is hundreds of thousands of dollars you'll have to find to get back home, if the travel insurance company denies your claim.
A real case lately.

If I were:

...Bibi...I'd be exchanging all my prisoners for the hostages.
Then I'd keep right on blowing up Hamas.

People are lined up buying guns from the gun stores. The criminals are not going to get far, they will get shot, or they commit suicide. The criminals will never win. So, we need to give people honest opportunities such as working in the vineyard and we need to keep people honest. The criminals can run the clubs, bars, bordellos, etc, like they do in San Francisco. And when they had Gambling Ships they had 50 guys with machine guns guarding the casinos. The bad guys are not going to get far. And I have neighbors who are Boxers, I would not mess with these guys, we have some strong people in America.

Salute,

Financial Times;

Israelis queue to buy guns in aftermath of Hamas attacks

Firearms store owners say there has been unprecedented rise in sales in wake of fears of more unrest.

   In a suburb of the Israeli city of Kefar Sava, gunshots rang out on a quiet Friday from firearms practice at a nearby shooting range. And in the city of Holon, a queue snaked around a building as Israelis lined up to buy guns.

Firearms sales have surged among Jewish Israelis since October 7, when civilians were forced to fight off Palestinian Hamas militants while waiting for the army to respond to a cross-border raid that claimed 1,400 Israeli lives, according to Israeli authorities.

Bambu, if I was making my movie right now with Universal, then I would not be allowed to travel because of the high cost of insurance.

And the stars are not allowed to ski, nor can they ride motorcycles.

Sonny Bono died while skiing, he hit a tree, so sad. Sonny Bono was a great man.

And Vice President Harris asked Firefox to always be free for the poor people of the world, Harris mentioned Firefox specifically, she wants Firefox to be free for all.

On the issue of Gambling Ships, the House always wins, and you could put Gambling Ships off of the coasts of places all around the world, and you can use the money to buy vineyards and farms to put the refugees to work as farm workers, etc. You could use the Gambling Money to help the Homeless People by putting them to work as Farm Workers, etc.

Salute,

Thoughts and prayers go out to you, Bambu. Maybe you can get a squirt gun to replace your broken penis. Do they allow squirt guns in Australia?

It is rare but it happens now and then.

Hillary is spot on.


People who are calling for a ceasefire now, do not  understand Hamas, That is not possible.
It would be such a gift to Hamas because they would spend whatever time there was a ceasefire in effect rebuilding their armaments, creating stronger positions to be able to fend off an eventual assault by the Israelis.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Here in Los Angeles the best place to go for Halloween is West Hollywood, there are many great clubs there, the Whisky, the Roxy, the Troubadour, the Rainbow, the Viper Room, etc, and there are street parties happening on both Sunset Blvd and on Santa Monica Blvd. Santa Monica Blvd is a safe spot for the Gays, but straight people party there too, and the Troubadour is a straight club on Santa Monica Blvd.

And I bet Empire West will have a cool rooftop party at the swimming pool.

Salute,

Tony V.

Halloween is scary, a recipe for disaster.
Everyting from trick or treating kids being preyed upon, to fatal shootings.


Best/safest place on Halloween is at home, all the lights off and the doorbell switched off.

But make sure to have your guns cocked and ready to fire at a kid who rings your door bell.

With the world such a scary place, how do you get out of bed in the morning?

Nah.
The lights would be out, and the doorbell 'not working'.
Don't believe in Halloween?   protest.

Bet the loved ones of the shooting victims/other victims wish the victims had stayed home in the dark, ...and they'd never heard of Halloween.

"Child attacked by dog in north Spokane Halloween night."

"More American child pedestrians die on Halloween from cars than any other day of the year."

Public Health: "Eye injuries from flying eggs".

. Unsafe costumes.
. Distracted drivers
. Demon allergies
. Trick ot trip
. Fire hazards
. Pumpkin carving, many knife injuries
. Falling off ladders
. Electrical hazards
. Pokes in the eye
. Cheap costume contact lenses that could contain chlorine, iron, and other harmful chemicals - American Academy of Opthalmology.
. There goes the dental work...American Dental Association- "Be picky if it's sticky".
Sticky pulling out fillings and crowns, and with braces, what a mess.
. Face paint, reactions with skin.

Halloween.......baaaah!
I object!
