Some things are just made to go together.
Hugs and kisses.
Thunder and lightning.
Christmas and snow.
Cloud and Wind were clearly born for each other as Wind gently carries Cloud through a starlit night sky.

This is where you and your very lovely lady need to do Date Night Dinner either tonight for Jennifer Roma's SEXXY or for tomorrow night for PURPLE REIGN. Can You DIG It!
But if your very lovely lady doesn't like hibachi steak, then y'all can have Date Night Dinner at the nearby Fresco Italiano or at the Edge Steakhouse just further down the concourse. Can You DIG That!
Actually the Craps experts would much prefer you not 'Play The Field' unless you're a beginner and you're not really hip to the flow of the game. All you do is make a bet somewhere between the table's minimum and the maximum and you get paid double for the 2 and get paid triple for the 12. You get even money for the 3, 4, 9, 10, and the 11 -- you bet $40 and you get $40 back if you win. The experts say there's more ways to lose 'Playing The Field' than ways to win, but it's a fast simple play for beginners. The experts would rather you play the Come or the Pass Line..
Take the free lessons -- Can You DIG It!
THE CRAZY GIRLS, SEXXY, ZUMANITY, FANTASY, ZOMBIE BURLESQUE, X-BURLESQUE -- Clearly there is no lack of Rousing and Randy Topless Revues up-and-down the Las Vegas Strip to inspire all means of Marvelously Magnificent Midnight Mischief between a man and his very lovely lady. But the most pressing question is, what Marvelously Magnificent Midnight Mischief have you two conspired to instigate this evening. Make it Notorious! Make it Legendary! Make it Big whatever you two are planning to do -- because Life Is Good Here and Day Two is not officially over yet. Can you DIG It!
Even though you and your very lovely lady may be coming here to see Mariah Carey, Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn, Rod Steward, Elton John, or Luis Miguel -- this is still Celine's house and Celine will be coming home soon! Can You DIG It!
Gents -- What would happen if you were to whip out your trusty 🍎iPhone right now, pull up your Facebook page, pull up your favorite Las Vegas Social Groups on Facebook, and declare a Big Meet-Up tomorrow night here at one of the numerous secret rooms or bars at the Atomic Saloon Show? How many Facebook members touring the Fabulous Las Vegas Strip would see your Post and show up tomorrow night to Party with you and the show cast -- Especially if your Meet-Up was hosted by the show's MC Madam Boozy Skunkton! And if a lot of people agreed to show up tomorrow night, would you re-book your departure flight in order to spend the entire night doing mischief here! 😈😁🍺🍔

• streamline moderne style theater built & managed by Jewish-American Mississippi native, Arthur Lehmann (1894-1958) • originally seated 750 • incorporated "an up-to-date drug store, an ice cream parlor, a restaurant and a [shoe] shop" —Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Mississippi) 26 Jan 1949

“but out of the bitterness we wrought an ancient past here in this separate place and made our village here.” —African Village by Margaret Walker (1915-1998)
• during the Reconstruction era that followed the American Civil War, white Southerners struggled to reclaim their lives as millions of black Southerners sought new ones • with the stroke of a pen, the Emancipation Proclamation had transformed African slaves into African Americans & released them into a hostile, vengeful & well-armed white community amid the ruins of a once flourishing society
• the antebellum South had been home to over 262,000 rights-restricted "free blacks" • post-emancipation, its free black population soared to 4.1 million • given that the South had sacrificed 20% of it's white males to the war, blacks now comprised well over half the total population of many southern states • uneducated & penniless, most of the new black Americans depended on the Freedman's Bureau for food & clothing
• the social & political implications of the sudden shift in demographics fueled a violence-laced strain of conventional American racism • in this toxic environment, de facto racial segregation was a given, ordained as Mississippi law in 1890 • with Yankees (the U.S. Army) patrolling the city & Maine-born Republican Adelbert Ames installed in the Governor's Mansion, the Farish Street neighborhood was safe haven for freedmen
• as homeless African American refugees poured into Jackson from all reaches of the devastated state, a black economy flickered to life in the form of a few Farish Street mom-and-pops • unwelcome at white churches, the former slaves built their own, together with an entire neighborhood's worth of buildings, most erected between 1890 & 1930
• by 1908 1/3 of the district was black-owned, & half of the black families were homeowners • the 1913-1914 business directory listed 11 African American attorneys, 4 doctors, 3 dentists, 2 jewelers, 2 loan companies & a bank, all in the Farish St. neighborhood • the community also had 2 hospitals & numerous retail & service stores —City Data
• by mid-20th c. Farish Street, the state's largest economically independent African American community, had become the cultural, political & business hub for central Mississippi's black citizens [photos] • on Saturdays, countryfolk would come to town on special busses to sell produce & enjoy BBQ while they listened to live street music • vendors sold catfish fried in large black kettles over open fires • hot tamales, a Mississippi staple, were also a popular street food —The Farish District, Its Architecture and Cultural Heritage
“I’ve seen pictures. You couldn’t even get up the street. It was a two-way street back then, and it was wall-to-wall folks. It was just jam-packed: people shopping, people going to clubs, people eating, people dancing.” — Geno Lee, owner of the Big Apple Inn
• as Jackson's black economy grew, Farish Street entertainment venues prospered, drawing crowds with live & juke blues music • the musicians found or first recorded in the Neighborhood include Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson II & Elmore James
• Farish Street was also home to talent scouts & record labels like H.C. Speir, & Trumpet Records, Ace Records • both Speir & Trumpet founder Lillian McMurry were white Farish St. business owners whose furniture stores also housed recording studios • both discovered & promoted local Blues musicians —The Mississippi Encyclopedia
• Richard Henry Beadle (1884-1971), a prominent Jackson photographer, had a studio at 199-1/2 N. Farish • he was the son of Samuel Alfred Beadle (1857-1932), African-American poet & attorney • born the son of a slave, he was the author of 3 published books of poetry & stories
• The Alamo Theatre was mainly a movie theater but periodically presented musical acts such as Nat King Cole, Elmore James & Otis Spann • Wednesday was talent show night • 12 year old Jackson native Dorothy Moore entered the contest, won & went on to a successful recording career, highlighted by her 1976 no. 1 R&B hit, "Misty Blue" [listen] (3:34)
• in their heyday, Farish Street venues featured African American star performers such as Bessie Smith & the Rabbit Foot Minstrels, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington & Dinah Washington played Farish Street venues —Farish Street Records
• on 28 May, 1963, John Salter, a mixed race (white/Am. Indian) professor at historically black Tougaloo College, staged a sit-in with 3 African American students at the "Whites Only" Woolworth's lunch counter in downtown Jackson • they were refused service • an estimated 300 white onlookers & reporters filled the store
• police officers arrived but did not intercede as, in the words of student Anne Moody, "all hell broke loose" while she and the other black students at the counter prayed • "A man rushed forward, threw [student] Memphis from his seat and slapped my face. Then another man who worked in the store threw me against an adjoining counter." • this act of civil disobedience is remembered as the the signature event of Jackson's protest movement —L.A. Times
"This was the most violently attacked sit-in during the 1960s and is the most publicized. A huge mob gathered, with open police support while the three of us sat there for three hours. I was attacked with fists, brass knuckles and the broken portions of glass sugar containers, and was burned with cigarettes. I'm covered with blood and we were all covered by salt, sugar, mustard, and various other things." —John Salter
• the Woolworth Sit-in was one of many non-violent protests by blacks against racial segregation in the South • in 1969 integration of Jackson's public schools began • this new era in Jackson history also marked the beginning of Farish Street's decline —The Farish Street Project
"Integration was a great thing for black people, but it was not a great thing for black business... Before integration, Farish Street was the black mecca of Mississippi.” — Geno Lee, Big Apple Inn
• for African Americans, integration offered the possibility to shop outside of the neighborhood at white owned stores • as increasing numbers of black shoppers did so, Farish Street traffic declined, businesses closed & the vacated buildings fell into disrepair
• in 1983, a Farish St. redevelopment plan was presented
• in 1995 the street was designated an endangered historic place by the National Trust for Historic Preservation
• in the 1990s, having redeveloped Memphis' Beale Street, Performa Entertainment Real Estate, was selected to redevelop Farish St
• in 2008, The Farish Street Group took over the project with plans for a B.B. King's Blues Club to anchor the entertainment district
• in 2012, having spent $21 million, the redevelopment — limited to repaving of the street, stabilizating some abandoned buildings & demolishing many of the rest — was stuck in limbo —Michael Minn
• 2017 update:
"Six mayors and 20 years after the City of Jackson became involved in efforts to develop the Farish Street Historic District, in hopes of bringing it back to the bustling state of its heyday, the project sits at a standstill. Recent Mayor Tony Yarber has referred to the district as “an albatross.” In September of 2014, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development sanctioned the City of Jackson, the Jackson Redevelopment Authority, and developers for misspending federal funds directed toward the development of the Farish Street Historic District. Work is at a halt and "not scheduled to resume until December 2018, when the City of Jackson repays HUD $1.5 million." —Mississippi Dept. of Archives & History
• Farish Street Neighborhood Historic District, National Register # 80002245, 1980

You and your very lovely lady did 16 nights at the then Monte Carlo Resort & Casino, now Park MGM, between the Spring of 2015 and the Summer of 2016 -- And y' all created marvelously magnificent memories! So how much do you think your very lovely lady will appreciate and love this newly remodeled version of this classic Vegas Strip destination? Why don't you give her a call and find out for sure? Maybe you can get her to change her return flight and join you in Las Vegas at the spectacular Park Theatre to see either the Janet Jackson Show or the Lady Gaga Show? What do you think?
I recently returned from a short coach trip to Branson, MO. This was a Christmas-themed trip to see stage shows and lights.
We saw two stage shows: "Hot Rods and High Heels" and "The Miracle of Christmas" at the Sight and Sound Theater. We also toured the College of the Ozarks and saw the Christmas lights at Silver Dollar City.

Dance Performance by Russian Belly Dancer at Hotel Inter Continental. On the ocassion of the launch of new line of Car audio products by JVC
Stage Show, Enchanted Forest Amusement Park
Chesterton, Indiana
Date: Circa 1970s
Source Type: Postcard
Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Natural Color Company, Inc. (#P52447)
Postmark: None
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: Text on reverse - Stage Show at the Enchanted Forest Open Air Theatre, Enchanted Forest Amusement Park, Chesterton, Indiana. Each Sunday colorful stage shows are presented free to the patrons of the park.
Enchanted Forest began operations in 1956. It was located on a 35 acre tract of land on the north side of U.S. Route 20 west of Indiana State Road 49. Ted Kruse of Beverly Shores, Indiana, Joseph Karras of Michigan City, Indiana, and James Marzano of Chicago were developers of the amusement park. Initially, the park included thirty deer, elk, mountain goats, buffalo, and guanacos.
The grounds also included a amusement park, concessions, restaurant, picnic area, Santa Claus Workshop, and Story Book Lane, which used animals to portray nursery rhymes.
As a result of poor weather conditions and a heavy debt load, the park filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in April 1990, but soon filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy dissolution in December 1990. The real estate and all assets on the property were sold at public auction on Saturday, October 19, 1991, by Norton Auctioneers of Michigan, Inc.

A scene from "Disney Dreams," an amazing musical on board the Disney Wonder. Of the three stage shows we saw on the cruise, this was my favorite show by far (and the other too were quite good).

Nothing on reverse.
A rehearsal for a Christmas stage show? Six members of a Landsturm battalion on a makeshift stage outside "Villa Wolfram". All the men are huddled around a 'camp fire', represented here by a cluster of twigs - presumably painted red or orange.
Clearly visible on the men's helmet covers are the Landwehr Cross above the number 9. Important information as it tells us that the photograph was taken pre- October 1916, after which it was ordered all identifying letters and numerals be removed from the Überzug. Furthermore, the presence of the Landwehr Cross identifies the men as being from a Landsturm battalion, in this case, number 9.
The men are armed with captured Russian M91 Mosin Nagant rifles, which suggests that the men are somewhere on the Eastern Front.
And what Plans have you and your very lovely lady made for Date Night tonight! How about an entertaining evening of fun and mischief with Terry Fator, or BOYZ 2 MEN, or Kathy Griffin.
Life Is Good Here!!

Towards the end of Fantasmic, in Disneyland California, the Mark Twain Riverboat steams through the Rivers of America with most if not all the memorable characters from Disney Movies. They wave and dance on the riverboat and bring a happy end to the Dragon scene. Disneylands version (the original) is still the best in my opinion. If you have not seen it yet GO, GO NOW!!!!

Did you get Mad and Sad when sexy ZUMANITY by Cirque du Soleil went permanently Dark during the early advent of the Coronavirus Global Pandemic? Well now you can be Happy again that MAD Apple 🍎 by Cirque du Soleil has found a good home at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino! Enjoy!!
It's 9am and your Monte Carlo hotel room will not be ready for you and your woman to occupy for at least another four hours -- what shall you do!?!? Well -- since your luggage is safely stored with the Bell Captain, you and your very lovely lady are pretty much free to do just about anything for the next four to five hours on the Las Vegas Strip. If y'all didn't have a McDonald's breakfast at your departure airport, now would be a good time to start looking for someplace nice for late breakfast or for an early lunch. If y'all have show tickets to pick up for tonight, then go do it now -- why wait for later? Whip out your Canon EOS 5D MK III from your 'GO-Bag' and start taking very lovely candid pictures of your very lovely lady! Get started on your Las Vegas Strip camera safari. Start thinking about making date night dinner reservations for tonight before your show and for tomorrow night. And because you know good and well that you and your very lovely lady can't do date night tonight wearing the stuffy old clothes you two stuffed inside your tiny little 24-inch travel bags several hours ago, don't y'all think now would be a really good opportunity to do some window shopping at the Miracle Mile Shops or at the Caesars Palace Forum Shops. Get yourselves outfitted for a hot date night. Can You Dig It.
You See! Unless you're headed to some lush and luxurious Strip Club off the Vegas Strip, you don't need a taxi cab to manage the six miles up-and-down the Las Vegas Strip. The Las Vegas Monorail will serve you well. So aren't you so very relieved that you were wise enough to purchase that three-day pass on the monorail. Life Really Is Sweet in Las Vegas when you know how to get around -- Can You DIG It!
And by the way, the afternoon temperature on the Vegas Strip can get as high as 120 to 125 in July and August -- so you may not want to do a lot of outdoors walking.
