Virginia Tech Horror

Yesterday a gunman went on a rampage and killed at least 33 people and injured many more on the campus of Virginia Tech. University in Blacksburg Virginia. It is considered the worst massacre killing spree in U.S. history. This is the second time in less than a year the school was closed down because of a shooting. I have spent time on that campus and had friends with ties to that school. My heart goes out to the victims and their families and I will burn a candle in their memory.

Grand Canyon Skywalk

Well I made it to the Skywalk on the Grand Canyon western rim. The first disapointment was the drive out there. 121 miles from Las Vegas. The last 21 miles is the absolute worst dirt road I have ever driven across. I highly suggest renting a vehicle with 4 wheel drive. Cars do make it through though. The only way to see the skywalk is to pay a package price. $74.95 a person. Use your AAA card because they also charge a tribal tax of 7%. When a bus takes you to the walk, you must leave all bags, pocket books, cameras, cell phones, etc. No photography while on the walk. They claim they wish to protect the grand canyon from falling items. Security guards everywhere. You put socks over your shoes and walk on a thick glass hanging 4000 feet above the canyon. You can have your photo taken for 15 dollars. The next stop Guano Point. You can literally walk along the edge of the rim. The buffet is a scam. Tin trays with gnarly chicken and barbecue beef. Not too appetizing but you can eat it in a picturesque setting. The road will be paved in June. Negotiations are underway and Trump or Wynn will get the bid to build 2 hotels, casino, amusement park, and the airport is currently being expanded to accept commercial flights. Even though I paid a hefty price it was neat to think I was there before the mass influx of progress.See more photos here.

Enjoy your Easter Weekend and always Be Safe.

Griffith Park Observatory

I visited the Griffith Observatory in L.A. this past weekend. It was recently renovated and open to the public and is a great place too see if you are ever in the area. The planetarium show was the best ever and the rest of the museum was just as interesting. Probably one of the best views around. I will definitely return here.

Coyote Gone Sobe

I was driving in a San Diego neighborhood last night and saw a coyote running across the road. Today when I woke up I saw on the news a coyote was in a Quizno's store in Chicago. I'm thinking that nature is getting smarter and turning to natural energy drinks rather than wasting all their energy within the circle of life in the food chain. Go Sobe!!!
