My Trip to Las Vegas During "El Nino" in the 1990s, (Autobiography) My Father Bought Me a Vacation. Truly a Blessing Because The Endless Rain Was Depressing.

He Proposed that I White Water Raft the Colorado River thru the Grand Canyon. Just Like the Book "The Monkey Wrench Gang" by Edward Abbey... I Declined that offer because I Was Afraid that the Extreme Rain would Make Rafting Too Dangerous... 

SO, I Spent a Week in Las Vegas. Riding the Rides, Drinking Booze and Playing Slot Machines.

My Travel Agent Booked me in a No-Name Motel Right on Las Vegas Boulevard Between Circus Circus and New York New York. Within Walking Distance to Everything. 

My Main Goal was to Ride the Star Trek Simulator at the Hilton. It Has a Trekkie themed Casino/Sports Betting Lounge for Me to Wait in Until it was time to Ride the Ride.

We all got on a Spaceship and Had a Battle with Klingons... Yep... Then I Rode the Monorail to the Luxor... Where they Had a 3D Movie. Totally Surrealistic as Their 3D Quality Really Made it Seem real. 

I Also enjoyed the Treasure Island Battle between Pirates and the English Navy. Taking Place in a Pool on the Street. The Pirates Won... Hey, It's Las Vegas... Pirates WIN Here... 

Then I walked over to the RIO Hotel and Enjoyed the Mardi Gras Float that was Flying over the Slot Machines... A Band, Singers and Dancers performed the Song "Aiko-Aiko" while riding the Float that was Attached to a Track in the Ceiling... Throwing Beads... and the Waitresses were Beautiful and Served Free Drinks as Long as I was Playing a Slot Machine... 

I rode the Roller Coaster at New York New York and Enjoyed Whooshing Past the Giant Statue of Liberty... Then Inside the Casino there was a Billy Joel Imitator Playing "Piano Man."

I walked over to the STRATOSFEAR Tower and Got in Line for the Roller Coaster at the Top... BUT I SELECTED TO NOT GO. I Have Limits to How mush Fear I want to Experience and... I Never Rode a Roller Coaster Again... Ever... Anywhere... 

My Motel Had a FREE "Bloody Mary Fountain" pouring Booze 24 Hours a Day and I Did Drink whenever I was Near... But I was Not Near Very Much... I was Mostly Visiting Rides... and Casinos... Circus Circus Had an Excellent Buffet and That was My Main Source of Food. Yes, They DID Have a High Wire Trapeze Act on the Ceiling... 

I Remember FLASHING NEON LIGHTS... Like the Hallucinations of an LSD Trip Without Actually Eating the Drug... Fantastic!

FACT CHECK: Trump's Lawyer KEN STARR [Really Boring] states That We Live in the "Age of Impeachment" - Presidents Are Frequent Impeached... FALSE - Three Times in 100 years is NOT Frequent... I Wonder When He Will GET TO THE POINT...

He Keeps on Bringing Up Subjects That HAVE NO RELEVANCE... Whitewater, Iran/Contra, Watergate, Janet Reno, Abraham Lincoln and The Magna Carta! 

and then He Teaches Us of the ENGLISH Governments opinion That Impeachment is Obsolete... SO WHAT! Who Cares What they Do in England? Should We Have a QUEEN? They DO!

Why Doesn't He Talk About Trump's CRIME? The Government Accounting Office Concluded that Trump Broke The Law by Refusing to Pay Ukraine Money for Their Military... 

Ken Starr Said "The Constitution Speaks of CRIMES" - Well, Trump Committed a Crime TWICE! What about The Campaign Finance Fraud Crime by PAYING OFF STORMY DANIELS? Michael Cohen is Currently Serving Time in Prison for That Crime... Trump is Listed as "Individual-1" in That Trial. 

Ken Starr Asks: "Will the President Be King?" - That's a Valid Question... and Then Starr DOES NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION... He Switches to a Different Subject... LOOK, SHINY OBJECT!  

WE THE PEOPLE REJECT MONARCHY!

and now that Ken Starr has finished talking... I Have No Idea What He Said... He Failed to State any Concept... a Total Babylon Sister... He Babbled On and On and On!
