To get you in the mood for Elvis Week, here’s a pic of Elvis and his hound dog from 1957. The image was posted to the Historical Pictures Twitter account. I followed it a couple of days ago and there’s some really excellent stuff. I’ve seen an 1890s one-man band, a 1930s construction worker sitting atop a beam in New York City, a 1969 photo of Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger, and the 1972 “blue marble” photo of the Earth from space.

I took a night off from Blind Bear poker last night and got three high-alcohol beers done for my next plate at the Flying Saucer. One of them in particular, Stone w00tstout, was really tasty and not badly priced at $8 considering it’s a 13% beer. I’ll be back at the poker table next week.
All right I’m outta here. I forgot to eat lunch yesterday and want to make sure that doesn’t happen again today.
