We ended up doing a tripple header in Detroit, all three Casino's and dinner at Fishbones!
My classic Detroit photo... all photos were taken tonight.

What did everyone else get on to this New Years? It was amazing to see ALL the Casino's PACKED once more! Even with COVID, the Cold, Flu and that new virus people still turned out in mass!
ALL the Casino's were PACKED! AND they brought back smoking at the Hollywood Casino! WOOT-WOOT!
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! Here is to a much better 2023!
Some cool photos posted right there, & Detroit appears to be quite a nice metropolis ! I reckon I could take a photo in Melbourne of its West-gate-bridge from the city, & it would almost look identical to yours of the Ambassador bridge, though I doubt that there'd be 5 x choppers available for the shot lol !
It was a quiet night down this way, & ever since my jury-duty at the Supreme Court a few years ago, I've learned that with all the camera's everywhere spying on people, I could never enjoy myself, or get into the evening ever again, at least in town, that's for sure...And throw in a Police force that's probably worse than the one that once existed in Minnesota, & I'm happy to leave it all behind, well behind !
There was a few fireworks happening up & down the street at home, & the really large sky-rockets fired from town 10 + miles away often manage to climb high-enough over the nearby hills to enjoy them. Plenty of ET craft also cruised by, which was even more awesome to see, & without question, the highlight of the evening !
I guess that the Hollywood Casino was packed lol ! And that that's going to be your port-of-call from now on lol !
I hate to ask, but what fake-new-virus are they laying on us now ???

The snow melted pretty fast... we're even supposed to see temps in the mid 60's F this week! There was snow over Christmas which was rather nice, nothing like a white Christmas!
Thanks Rastus, I been trying to get used to this new camera but clearly even with the photos being converted and shrunk down to 800X800 resolution you can tell they are much deeper than years past. I guess most suspension bridges look familar, as they all have that "Golden Gate" bridge look.
I'm not sure what you're doing out in public that would worry you... most of everything is being recorded at Casinos but I save the crazy shit for home too! LOL, although with Siri and all the Apple devices and electronics I doubt it's much more private here either! LOL
Fireworks are one thing I didn't hear a lot of this New Years Eve... as I was standing at the roulette table in the Hollywood Casino, but everyone counted down from 10 seconds until the New Year and the entire place just came alive with everyone scraming Happy New Year! It was great, and I didn't even feel the need to video record it... even though I thought about it at the 10 second mark.
The Hollywood Casino was formerly Greektown Casino... Now it's the Hollywood Casino in Greektown...
I don't know that any of the virus' are fake... I know the cold and the flu are real! I've had them! I suspect that COVID was real also, as I've probably had that a half dozen times also over the past few years... But now they have this new one called RSV, and then down in Ohio they just reported 80 cases of the measles!
That is the one thing that impressed me the most last night, that people were starting to come out and celebrate in mass, this dispite all the above mentioned stuff floating around! It really was a good feeling to be packed in together with a bunch of people looking to have a good time! I hope it stays this way! It was downright spooky before... although I do realize that it was a Saturday night New Years Eve, so it was the best possible alignment for a wild New Years celebration, much like how when Halloween falls on a Saturday.
Happy New Year everyone! Here is to good health and wealth! We're all gonna need it!
Stellar...As you may well remember, there's a shyte-load of radiation floating around the globe, typically from nuke-plants activity, their accidents, atmospheric bomb-testing & uranium mining for the last 100-odd-years...
Q. And since it's accepted that radiation kills everything, how do you think something like a virus ( Covid ) would survive for all this time ???
Ans. You get the population to have injections with the virus ( covid ) inside...And then you give the population booster-shots also, to keep the lie going !
We haven't worked hard all our lives paying taxes, to provide this kind of bull-shyte to be quite honest, & that goes for the illegal invasion of privacy with these cameras too.
