Sky News Oz Annelise is reporting. She speaks Australian english and has very clear diction.
She'll be keeping viewers informed across all facets of the Dem Conference.

Gotta go to the dentist now. Broken tooth.

Not by violent thugs, just by a Caramello Koala chocolate.

Richard Branson

Exciting to hear about Virgin Active Australias new Social Wellness Club. It is coming to the beautiful Westfield Bondi club in 2025 as a one-stop health and wellness facility. There will be sound baths, a business lounge, co-working spaces, a health food cafe, personal trainers, instructors, nutritionists, the list goes on. Brilliant!


So you are spamming us now?  Interesting market strategy.  First, bore people senseless, then spam them.  Brilliant!

I like the old Greek Motto, "Strong Mind, Strong Body, Strong Spirit."

JFK was good too with "Ask not what America can do for you, but instead ask what you can do for America."

I have been sending ideas to Kamala on Facebook, maybe she sees them.

Salute,

It is good that Richard Branson is building Social Wellness Centers, and he needs to open them in San Francisco, and in Oakland, and in San Bernardino, etc, and in Kentucky, etc.

In the Cowboy Days here in the USA the men went to the Taverns to socialize, and the women went to Church to socialize, and that was how the community worked. Now, a lot of people do not drink alcohol and plus the Taverns are not always safe, so a lot of people do not go to Taverns, and also people are from all over the world and they have different faiths so they may not all attend the same Church, so there has to be places where people can socialize where it is not a Tavern or a Church. Nevada has casinos, but many people do not approve of gambling, and there are restaurants, etc. In my neighborhood the locals hang out at the Bodega, and that is where you can find out about everything that is going on in the neighborhood, etc, like the Piazzas in Italy. In Italy they do not have homeless people, and you can feel the love among the people, Italy is all about Love. But here in America, it is people from all over the world, and for instance we have 1 Million Persians in Los Angeles, so we need clubs where the Christians and Jews and Persians and Muslims, etc, can all socialize and be a part of the same community, we need to share the communities as allies, instead of having conflicted communities, we need peace. The parks and tennis courts and swimming pools and beaches are all nice too for people to intermingle within our communities, etc. I had a Persian boss from Iran who used to love the beach in Malibu, she loved Zuma, she was my boss at the Broadway Department Store in Pasadena, and we had workers from Lebanon, etc, they all loved Zuma. And Richard Branson is welcome to open Social Wellness Centers all over, the world can benefit.

Salute,

Tony V.

Orange County just bought 2 new Fire Hawk helicopters for $26 Million each. So, that is the going price of water dropping aircraft. They can build water dropping aircraft in Mojave, and it can create good jobs and they can make money. They can also convert the existing stored aircraft into water dropping aircraft.

Some people believe that the fires will just get worse with Global Warming, so Mojave can profit from building water dropping aircraft, there will be a high demand for the water dropping aircraft.

To assist with Fire Prevention then the Basques can help by running herds of cattle, sheep, and goats, etc, to eat the vegetation to reduce fire risk, etc, and they can provide Ice Cream, and Mexican Goat Cheese Tamales, and Filet Mignon, etc.

Mojave can supply everyone with water dropping aircraft, etc, and the Basques can have herds grazing on the vegetation.

Salute,

Tony V.

The desert in California has had record heat, and my Mother is so happy that she has Solar Panels with a Battery System, and she has a swimming pool, she is fortunate. There was a lady on the news on television in Palmdale who said she has an electric bill of $700 per month, that is horrible, so sad.

Here in Anaheim the Electric Company is owned by We the People, and so the bill is cheap, and plus the money goes for new train stations, and for new parks, and to help the homeless, etc.

As people go Solar then it is nice if they own their own system. And for Cities it is nice if each city owns their own power company, the power companies need to be owned by the people like in Anaheim.

Salute,

Tony V.

Westfield Bondi is where the mass stabbing murders happened earler this year.
Mr Branson's initiative will be most welcome I'm sure.
Maybe he could do the same in America, if he hasn't already.
