Driving home yesterday I notice some "road repair ahead" signs near my place on South 14, and as usual just shrug and expect to see a couple guys leaning on shovels for a day or two. Well, at 2 in the AM I notice that it seems pretty bright outside (about 5x that full moon we get, so bright!) and its a bunch of big lights down at the Ponderosa.
First I think its a accident and they're lighting things up and using the jaws of life or something, but there's no flashers or radio noise. I also don't hear any machinery noise (like anyone would be doing roadwork at that hour here) so getting paranoid I pull on boots and a bathrobe, grab the Ruger and drive down that way. About halfway, there's a BCSD vehicle on the shoulder, so I pull up and in my best concerned citizen voice ask WTF?
Kim Basenger is filiming some scenes from a film called "Elvis has Left the Building" at the Ponderosa! The place is lit up like daylight, and the parking lot has a bunch of pink cars in it. I'm thinking "Hope the ABATE crowd or Banditos don't show up for a nitecap."
Too wierd. It's a shame though she broke up with Baldwin. I could have become famous by conducting a East Mountain Midnight FReep!
A woman (3 time DWI loser) who blew a 0.4 BAC after killing another driver, received 30 days in jail. The kicker is that a State Senator and State House Rep (both dims) both appealed to the judge for leniency!
