I WAS IN Vegas that weekend when they were filming the original Ocean's 11 film, and those threee guys along with Joey Bishop were putting on a show at the Sands----couldn't get ticket to the show, even though my friends and I tried to bribe the ticket agent---but after the show Dean, frank and Sammy came out and clowned in up in the casino proper, ---got dealt three winning hands of black jack by Frank Sinatra (unfortunately only was betting a buck a hand---being the starving college student I was in those days.---still twas a moment.Gary ("Old Dude")https://www.blogger.com/profile/00840287762340872772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-80896924858190792002008-06-01T10:46:00.000-04:002008-06-01T10:46:00.000-04:00I confess that I recently purchased one of those W...I confess that I recently purchased one of those Wally-world specials. Only mine is a throw-back thing with a seat that looks like a seat and not some kind of torturous sexual device, wide fat tires (no white walls, though)a little rack on the back to hold stuff and FENDERS! Oh, for the love of fenders! I fully expect to be sore as hell after my first outing with this thing, but for once I have a bike that does not intimidate me with all of its bells and whistles. There are seven speeds on this thing, but they are arranged in a manner that I understand, not with some unmarked little toggle switches. Mine are numbered. Thank heavens. It seems for so long bikes have been made solely for those who want to be pros, not for those of us who want to just pedal around. I am thrilled. And fenders! Hurrah!<BR/><BR/>As for Vegas, I've never been. It is tempting sometimes to consider moving there perhaps for work (it is the largest growing union town in America) but it is much, much too far from the sea for this girl.<BR/><BR/>Liked the post.Dawn Fortunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722591049949538021noreply@blogger.com
