Have you ever noticed that it’s always “your son” when it’s trouble?

My son’s ex does the same thing. When the girl does something great or is well behaved, she’s the ex’s little angel. The rest of the time, baby girl is her father’s daughter!
Truth? I can’t blame her a bit. Wish my son could get custody.

That. And being called out by your first, middle and last name.
When we had kids – one boy and one girl – I made sure that they had plenty of syllables. When I hit them with the three name call they knew it was time to settle down.

I seem to recall an incident involving commercial jetliners skywriting for the Double D. The memorable observation from Zed to Wade was along the lines of “ I expect Damon is having a talk with his boy.”
At times like this when you are the father, it is always “your son,” or “your boy.” A real Dad wouldn’t have it any other way, the “talk” is invariably memorable, and usually grows in love, wisdom, and value, over the years, even after Dad is gone.

Vegas is so last year’s meh. Want some fun ? Head out to South Lake Tahoe where they have two seasons – winter and road repair. But, I digress. Lots of compact fun and action with everything right at one’s fingertips. No cabs necessary to get from A to B. It’s all within crawling distance for those who are ambulatory impaired. The state line into Calif. is down the street at the end of casino row where me and my significant other would find an accommodating alley to perform a violation of the act of “taking a female across the line for immoral purposes.” Always looked forward to that function as part of our sojourn. Never really hit big ones, but one man’s ceiling is another man’s floor………..

Nothing happening outside the Hard Rock, tonight. That, I can see. Las Vegas, a city founded on alcohol, avarice and lust — all the good stuff. Add, a thirst for power and it degenerates into DC.

The kid would know how to hide his tracks better…

Well, the phone call has to be made by the FBI, but it’s being monitored by the CIA.
Fronk!
Apr 20 2018 at 9:09 am
Actually, the Vegas Gaming Commission is the entity who’s the call. The FBI only tracked the malware’s origin to where the Thomas family is vacationing in Venice and apparently reported this to the VGC. What I want to know is what do Autonomous Public Vehicles and the Las Vegas Gaming Commission have to do with each other?

One question for Vegas:
Why would they need centralized control routines if they’re “autonomous”.
You keep using that word………….

You are correct, gruundehn, but I didn’t comment because the use of “Las Vegas” makes the point better.
Because you were at Nellis, you are one of the few people in the world who know what I mean when I say “My home town is Boulder City.”

Memo to young Master Javier Thomas:
Daddy’s pissed.
To quote a favorite line of Burt Lancaster in the 197os CIA espionage film, ‘Scorpio’:
“When you run. Run fast. Run far. Do NOT run in a straight line!”

“When you run. Run fast. Run far. Do NOT run in a straight line!”
To quote another movie:
“Serpentine, Shelly. Serpentine!”

That scene caused me to laugh until tears ran down my leg.

Funniest movie ever.

Javier is too smart to be caught that easy. I’m thinking it’s a diversion for something else far more “problematic” so to speak.
