I seem to have the best luck when I travel.

When I went to England in my early 20s, they had the warmest weather in 25 years.

I went to New York a month ago, and it was great weather.

Today in Vegas, I think it's 89 degrees, with a nice breeze.

But hey....these blogs aren't for me to give weather reports.

Speaking of which...the weather man and newscaster on a station out here had the weirdest thing. Their names popped up on the screen. Right below that, it had the persons email address. I found that odd. Are you really going to need to drop the weather man a line? Tell him that his last weather forecast sucked, or that he was wrong when he said "partly cloudy" as you didn't see a cloud in the sky.

It makes sense for writers of publications to have an email. I've had a few sports debates with the guys at the Union-Tribune years ago.

But newscasters? Just imagine the kind of spam Bree Walker would've gotten back in the day.

Anyway....I want to get back to losing my money in the casinos, so I'll just throw this one other tid-bit out there.

We were driving down the strip, and I told my girlfriend that I saw the doctor on the show House walking by. People were stopping him and asking for autographs.

Well, on the news that night, I saw that it was Hugh Jackman. He's in town because of some wax figure of him being made.

Jackman was carrying a bottle of beer with him. And, I wondered if cops would give slack to celebrities.

I remember in the Marlon Brando autobiography I read, he was stealing lumber from a site around midnight, and cops nailed him. He said "Look, I'm a rich actor, why would I be stealing wood from here?" And they believed him.

But they pulled him over two minutes later, and he figured they didn't buy his story. The cop said, "Sorry to pull you over again, Mr. Brando. But, my wife would kill me if I didn't get your autograph."
