My classic rock song of the day is Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry. This may have been the song playing in Nevada Jones' 57 Chevy the first time he kissed a girl. ;) I'm a big reader so I thought I might share the titles of some of the books I read. Today's choice is the winner of the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, Brian K. Vaughan's Saga.

Jeez, I'm old, but not quite that old! :laugh:

Also, it would have been a 1971 Ford Maverick. :nod:

I was just joking, but it sounded cool like American Graffiti or a good episode of Happy Days. It was a brand new 78 Lincoln Town Car for me. I saw a Lincoln Continental today with TX plates and a body of 100% pure shiny chrome. It was the coolest car I've ever seen. If I can ever afford it, I will get one.

My classic rock song of the day is Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley. Nevada Jones may have heard it on an oldies station in his 71 Ford Maverick.

My classic rock song of the day is Tutti-Frutti by Little Richard. Don't ask me what the original lyrics were about. ;) Nevada Jones may have heard it on an oldies station in his 71 Ford Maverick.

One of the more hilarious uses of that song is the extended scene where it plays in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

My classic rock song of the day is Respect by Aretha Franklin. She's the best singer I've heard. My classic rock album of the day is considered the best rock album ever:

Another bubble?

Don't think so.

Now, SJ-SF has been going up almost 10%/month for about 18 months. (SJ hit $1m median price for house/condo about two years ago.) The demand is there. Sold my place last July; it's probably increased in value by 20-30%. The demand is just incredible, and the supply minuscule. Very little undeveloped land. (A number of single story strip malls are being demolished and replaced by mixed use buildings, i.e., retail on ground floor and residential -- condos, apartments and/or hotel -- above. That's how the density is increasing.)

In LV, the supply of existing houses is small(ish), but there is a bunch of land available for development and more are being built.

Unless the economy collapses, unlikely to have huge impact on this.

My classic rock song of the day is Marvin Gaye's I heard it through the grapevine. Today's classic rock album of the day is arguably the best album cover ever:

Las Vegas airport on track for another record-breaking year

McCarron on for (another) record breaking year? 8th busiest in US.
Vassiliadis’ prediction comes as McCarran logged its all-time busiest March with nearly 4.3 million airline passengers, topping a record set last year by roughly 92,000 travelers — an increase of 2.2 percent over March 2017, the county’s aviation department reported Friday.
Of that, more than 3.92 million boarded or arrived on domestic flights at McCarran last month, a 2.2 percent jump from a year earlier. International flights arriving or departing Las Vegas carried 293,512 travelers, up 2.8 percent from a year earlier.
Year-to-date, more than 11.64 million passengers have flown in or out of the airport during the first quarter of 2018, a 2.9 percent increase from the same period last year.
