Says Bruce Dickinson, “Next year is a very special one for IRON MAIDEN and we’re going to be giving our fans a once-in-a-lifetime live experience. This is a tour that’s gonna put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat. If you’ve seen us before, then get ready to take that experience to a whole new level. If you’ve never seen us before, then what the hell have you been waiting for? Now’s your chance to find out what you’ve been missing! IRON MAIDEN’s definitely gonna get ya!”
Manager Rod Smallwood adds, “50 years of Maiden and I have seen 46 of them! With well over 100 million albums sold and almost 2500 shows in 64 countries and counting, to countless millions of fans, we are all still loving every second and consider every tour a new challenge to bring something different and exciting to our fans. And for this very special one we’re pulling out all the stops!
"We will cover classics and fan favourites from the first nine albums, from IRON MAIDEN to FEAR OF THE DARK, many of which we haven’t played in years and many we will likely never play again in the future. We have already been hard at work for months putting together an even more spectacular and elaborate new show which will bring the songs to life more than we have ever been able to do before. This is going to be a huge couple of years for IRON MAIDEN, and Eddie of course, and we are very excited about what we have up our sleeves for you fans throughout the whole of our 50th year. I promise you are all going to be very happy indeed!”
On Saturday June 28th the band will perform at the London Stadium, home of West Ham Football Club – the team that band founder Steve Harris has supported throughout his life, and with whom IRON MAIDEN have a long and storied history.
This concert in front of over 60,000 fans, will be the first time that IRON MAIDEN have performed on the club’s hallowed turf. A true homecoming show – with Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith & Nicko McBrain all born in the surrounding area – it will also be the biggest UK venue the band have ever headlined outside of their festival appearances.
Steve Harris says, “My love of football and my support of West Ham is no secret, and I know many of our fans around the world have shared that with me too. So we’re all very excited to be playing at the London Stadium as part of the RUN FOR YOUR LIVES tour. We can’t wait to see you all there!”

August - Activity
While my 2 friends from abroad were visiting the city, we walked around a lot. We walked around parks, the old town, and checked out the PGE Narodowy Stadium in preparation for the concert we attended the next day.
Reflection - Once again, it was very easy to walk this many steps in the company of my friends, with a goal in mind and with the weather also being great. Walking around like this is not only a great form of exercise, but seeing my number of steps reach 10k or over is always satisfying.

Taylor Swift’s concert had a positive impact on the tourism sector in the Indianapolis area.
smartoobiz.com – Soon Taylor swift’s concert tour titled ERAS tour will be held in Indianapolis. The countdown for the pop mega star is 100 days from now. The Indianapolis government and the community hope this will increase tourism in the region and attract many foreign and local tourists to visit Indianapolis
Tumblr media

Jennifer Holcomb, a taylor swift fan, said: “I’m lucky to have tickets because more than 87% of fans come from out of town and maybe they’ll spend a few nights in Indianapolis. This is a very good thing because it can increase the number of tourism in this region”.
Another fan named Jhon Smith also said: “100 days from now we can see the impact on the tourism sector and they are very enthusiastic about this. This concert is very unique to me”
Tumblr media
“Hotels across the city are almost sold out for Taylor weekend with prices tripling that weekend compared to 2023,” said Clare Clark of Visit Indy. “Currently, for November, we expect a short-term rental increase of 207%.”
Eras Tour completes an already busy year in the field of Indy Tourism. From the NBA All-Star Game to solar eclipses and the Swimming Olympics, the numbers show record-breaking years.
Every year, tourism brings in an impact of $5.8 million and Visit Indy says this year should be much higher than that. “Thirty million visitors come to Indianapolis and that number is going to be a lot more,” Clark said.
This is the Eras Tour schedule for Taylor swift : July 24: Hamburg, Germany — Volksparkstadion July 27: Munich, Germany — Olympiastadion July 28: Munich, Germany — Olympiastadion Aug. 1: Warsaw, Poland — PGE Narodowy Aug. 2: Warsaw, Poland — PGE Narodowy Aug. 3: Warsaw, Poland — PGE Narodowy Aug. 8: Vienna, Austria — Ernst-Happel-Stadion Aug. 9: Vienna, Austria — Ernst-Happel-Stadion Aug. 10: Vienna, Austria — Ernst-Happel-Stadion Aug. 15: London, United Kingdom — Wembley Stadium Aug. 16: London, United Kingdom — Wembley Stadium Aug. 17: London, United Kingdom — Wembley Stadium Aug. 19: London, United Kingdom — Wembley Stadium Aug. 20: London, United Kingdom — Wembley Stadium
Once again it’s time to take a closer look at Karlie Kloss’s relationship with Taylor Swift. Once a prominent member of Swift’s beloved squad, Kloss has never been seen hanging out with the singer for years, which sparked rumors that the two were at odds. The evidence is slim, of course — Kloss is known to hang out with Swift’s nemesis, Scooter Braun, and Swift doesn’t appear at Kloss’s wedding — but Swift does tend to go out of her way to publicize her friendship, so the fact that she hasn’t come to a Trotteria with Kloss in the past year or two is noteworthy.
Last year, while everyone from Phoebe Bridgers to Channing Tatum earned a spot in the Eras Tour VIP tent, Kloss was forced (or chose?) to watch “Bad Blood,” a song in which he appeared in a music video, from the pop gen. But whatever happens between the two won’t be made public anytime soon — when asked about Swift in a recent interview, Kloss gave a very calm snippet.
In a Q&A session with Yahoo Life about the new health campaign, Kloss was asked about his favorite song from Swift’s latest album (which many hated), The Tortured Poets Department. “I’ll say the whole album,” Kloss replied honestly. “I mean, the music is classical.” When asked about Swift’s overall favorite song, she explained, “She has a lot of hits. I really like ‘Shake It Off.'”

I will mention this until the end of time, Aubrey (in my Canon at least) carries Mr. PlantEgg everywhere she goes, and I mean EVERYWHERE.
Park? Sure!
Church? Yes!
She even brings him with her when hanging with her friends. Kim questioned it at first, but she settled into it after Aubrey protected Mr. PlantEgg.
Aubrey has stated before that she, quote on quote,
"Has no shame.", so this just works for her.
The news spreads quickly around Faraway.
"Look at that Aubrey, carrying that plushie everywhere she goes! The same delinquent is a softie!"
AND AUBREY JUST ACCEPTS THIS???
She doesn't fight back, she doesn't spout insults and/or curses at them, she just nods her head and says something along the lines of, and I quote again,
"Yep, that's me."
Now you all may be saying,
"WRITER. THIS ISN'T AUBREY. THIS IS SUCH A STRETCH."
To which I say, in my mind,
"eh, to each their own."
All of this to say I believe in Soft PGE Aubrey Supremacy

A few years ago, we experienced a fire resulting from a storm that knocked down a giant tree which pulled down power lines. The live wires were dancing over our neighbor’s house, and the house started burning. The fire fighters were doing their best to contact the local utility (Exelon/Commonwealth Edison), but it took the utility several hours to turn off the electricity feeding into the neighborhood. In the meantime, the fire spread to our fence and was charring our garage, in which were our cars (meaning gasoline). By the time that was all sorted out, we had incurred thousands of dollars of damage and the neighbor’s house had to be completely renovated. As a consequence, the utility erected utility poles that are much taller and sturdier and have bundled the wires together using these huge clips, which theoretically strengthens the overhead power lines. We’ll see. Since then, no trees have yanked down the lines. Moral of the story: yes, bury the lines.
Excerpt from this story from Grist:
On July 18, California’s Pacific Gas & Electric revealed that its electrical equipment might have sparked the Dixie Fire, a blaze that has since become the second-largest in the state’s history, torching 700,000 acres and destroying more than 1,200 structures. Three days later, PG&E, which emerged from bankruptcy last year after amassing some $30 billion worth of liabilities from wildfires, announced something more surprising: To prevent future blazes, the state’s largest utility plans to rip out 10,000 miles of overhead power lines in high fire risk areas and bury them underground.
The plan caps a years-long push by utilities to bury more power lines in the face of worsening weather and rising risks from climate change. According to PG&E, it’s the largest such effort ever announced by a U.S. utility: Pattie Poppe, the company’s CEO, described as a “moonshot” on a call with reporters, But whether PG&E can turn its announcement into action is a big “if,” as the utility has not estimated a timeline for the project, and it’s not clear that the benefits will outweigh the multi-billion dollar cost.
PG&E’s announcement, nearly two years after its equipment sparked the deadly Camp Fire, was “a clear recognition that something has to change,” said Julie McNamara, a senior energy analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists. “But if this is not part of a holistic plan that is clearly reckoning with all of the challenges afoot, then this is a distraction.”
Burying power lines isn’t a new idea. The majority of electrical distribution lines, as well as the larger, higher voltage transmission lines that carry electrons over longer distances, remain overhead, said Sadrul Ula, an energy infrastructure researcher at the University of California, Riverside. But utilities have long buried lines in city centers, as well as parks and recreation areas like golf courses, largely for aesthetic reasons. Even though it can cost as much as ten times more than installing power lines overhead, utilities are now burying an increasing number of new lines. That includes power lines serving nearly all new residential and commercial developments in the U.S. They do it to meet customer preferences, help keep the lights on, reduce maintenance needs, and to protect against the growing threat of extreme weather.

2.14 The Three Strikes Job
I’ve been running the Leverage RPG long enough now that I can tell you straight up if I gave this job to MY crew they would be like “You want us to help a COP? FUCK THAT.” Bonano would NOT FLY HERE.

My cousin Melissa not able to come back on Monday to talk more about the family because her youngest daughter got sick and it turned out she had appendicitis. Everything is OK but we were sorry we didn't get to visit with her some more. That afternoon our neighbors in the campground behind us came home with a smoker grill.  I asked if he needed any unloading it, but they were OK. We watch them put that grill together for the next 2 and a 1/2 hours. They worked really well together, unlike most married couples. After it was over, he asked if I wanted a beer. My initial reaction was no, but then my upbringing kicked in and if someone offers you a beer you take it and we socialized with them for an hour or so. They had just sold their house and bought a fixer upper at quite a discount so there having it remodeled. Russ is a pipeline inspector and he had worked for a Tulsa company for a while but had never been there or met the owners. It turns out his family is from Sicily and we had a lot to talk about. His wife Sandra is retired Special ED teacher at a junior college . We had a really good visit for a couple of hours before they had to make dinner and get ready for work the next day.  We tried to find 2 batteries for the RV at Sam's Club but they only had one so we headed for Rocklin to visit that evening with Allison and her friend/fiancé’ Andre. We didn't know what to expect, but it was a warm welcoming. They had ordered brisket and barbecue chicken with baked potatoes and some corn bread rolls.  It couldn't have been better. They are also members of a local winery so they had some of their own wine that we could try. We spent the next 4 hours reminiscing, recalling visits with her dad and his memorial service, etc. Turns out they had traveled to New Zealand on the North island. When I said I had jumped out an airplane in Australia Allison said she had done the same thing recently. She is a nurse at a urgent care center and Andre is a project manager for PGE so he works out of his home. They were both physical fitness buffs and Andre has a wall of medals and certificates from all the half marathons, five-and-ten K races and triathlons he has done. Allison did CrossFit until she tore ACL and her right bicep. I think now they more or less just try to stay in shape. They are really a fun couple and we predict years of happiness for them in the future. They are just moved into their new house a few months before we got there and they have been able to make a lot of the selections for the granite flooring etc. They live in a strict HOA a community and are still awaiting approval for their backyard landscaping even though no one could see it but them. It's a weed patch now. 
 May 5
 We drove to Beale Air Force base by way of Forest Hills bridge, a cantilever bridge that is 730' above the river.  It’s the tallest bridge in California and either the 3rd or 4th highest bridge above the river in United States. I just had to go see it. When we got to the Air Force Base we had to get a visitor's pass versus just going on base like we have been doing. They were very friendly and helped us get it done as quickly as possible. We thought we only had one night with full hookups and one night dry camping, but as luck would have it the person who was coming in on the 6th cancelled so we got to spend 2 nights in a regular campsite. It's nice with a lot of families living here who probably work on base.
May 6
It is very warm 91 yesterday and a high of 86 today. There is a good breeze and the AC is working. Not sure where we will head tomorrow because a lot of the national parks we want to see and some have roads still blocked by snow pack. Again, we won't get to see everything we thought we would on this trip. It's better than nothing though.
My freezer hinge repair didn't hold up so I had to find a piece of sheet metal to repair the hinge today. Luckily, I found a guy who thought Outside the Box. The auto repair shop Lady said I would have to go to the Body repair shop to get a piece of metal, but this young gentleman said we have a scrap metal box outback. He said let's go look there and the 1st thing I saw was an old fluorescent light fixture that had “tab” on it that was exactly what I needed. He got some tin snips and we fashioned a piece to match the paper model I had. I predict he will go far wherever he works. The part worked perfectly and we think our hinge will work well enough to get us back home. One of our neighbors stopped to talk. She and her family had just arrived a week ago from Madrid.  Her husband is a fighter pilot and they have 2 young children 2 and 5. We had a nice conversation with Jennifer. Their background is farming from Illinois, around Springfield. She said you probably don't know where that is. It’s just where my ex-wife was born. We had a nice talk and they are living in the RV waiting for housing on the base. More to follow in a few days.
