2015 Fred Loya Christmas Lights display, over 450,000 lights
Last year, we featured Fred Loya’s 2014 Christmas Lights Display. This years it is better and bigger with over 450,000 individual Christmas Lights.
This new video of the 2015 Fred Loya Christmas Lights Display was filmed using a Phantom Drone. We get a bird’s eye view of this beautiful display
We have two videos this year. The first is the official video courtesy of the El Paso Christmas Lights. The 2nd version looks like it was shot with the Phantom Drone flying at a higher viewpoint. Hope that you enjoy these videos.
Video is courtesy of the El Paso Christmas Lights YouTube channel

The parking info below was from 2014. I believe that there is still no parking by Fred Loya’s home. I assume that nearby school parking lot will be open for visitors in 2015.
If you drop by to view the Christmas Lights, plse park at the nearby Montwood High School.
BTW, there is NO parking on the street. Click the following for a Google Map of the Montwood High School.

Happy Birthday “Randy Rhoads”. “Black Sabbath” with “Randy Rhoads” performing “Mr. Crowley” Live in 1981
Today (December 06 2015) was Randy Rhoads birthday. The late Randy Rhoads would have turned 59. He was an awesome Guitarist.
The following is what Ozzy Osbourne had posted about Randy Rhoads:
Randy Rhoads was quite possibly the best composer & musician that I have ever met in my life. He came into my life like a bolt of lightning and as such he was gone again. I consider my self one of the luckiest men alive to have not only met him but also I had the great honor of being able to work with him. I will cherish the time I spent with him till the day I die LONG LIVE RANDY RHOADS. LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL. I LOVE YOU ALL. – OZZY OSBOURNE
The video below, from 1981, features Black Sabbath, with Randy Rhoads on guitar, performing “Mr. Crowley“.

The joy of abusive retail customers
Video is courtesy of YouTube
It makes me wonder how someone could be proud of such behaviour and post the above video of it on social media.
The McDonalds Manager was “amazing“, to put up with this customer’s tirade. Profanity, name calling and threats. All this because the customer was asked to wait “two” minutes to receive her order of three friggin cookies.

On Thursday Dec 03, between 8pm and 9pm, Bloomington Minnesota Police checked a motorhome which was parked by a hotel. Inside they found an unresponsive male. An ambulance was called.
It has been confirmed by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office that said male was deceased and that it was Scott Weiland.
Scott Weiland was a former singer with Velvet Revolver (Slash’s band after Guns & Roses broke up) and also with the Stone Temple Pilots.

My condolences go out to Jamie Wachtel, Scott’s wife, and the rest of his family and friends..

Looking for an apartment? Just listed three-bedroom, three-bathroom penthouse with a monthly rental rate of $300,000 US or, if you prefer to rent by the night, $14,000 US per night.

I keep getting calls to trade “Opium”. No not drugs! “Opium” stands for “Other People’s Money”.
You see, I used to Invest and trade Equities for a living. That was trading my own account. It grew from almost nothing to providing a nice living.
For me to trade “Other People’s Money – ie Opium” would be strange. You train yourself not to sweat losses. You also train yourself to take on more and more risk. All this while maintaining a healthy respect for Risk Aversion.
For me to join a Private Equity Trading firm would mean me moving to New York City. So I figured that I would check out rentals there. After about a year I could decide to stay and then buy a condo.

The listing for a Penthouse on the 17th floor of the Lowell Hotel in Manhattan seemed perfect. I will not live in a super high rise tower. If there is a problem, you have a long way to get back to ground level and I’m not an Angel therefore I cannot fly….
Being in the luxury Lowell Hotel is great, especially if you have guests over. Just call down to the kitchen and have food and wine brought to your door. Maid service is there, so you don’t have to worry about hiring and trusting someone with your home. That are many benefits.
One could rent the Penthouse for only $300,000 US per month. Yes that is expensive when compared to Toronto, but not so much for New York City.
Martin Zweig, another Trader (but he was famous), enjoyed living in the top three floors Penthouse of the Pierre Hotel in New York City. I guess that I could follow in his footsteps. I used to enjoy watching Marty Zweig banter with Louis Rukeyser,on the Wall Street Week show on PBS. He was an extraordinary Trader.

“Climate Hustle”, the film features expert opinions and data to reveal that on virtually every claim in the climate debate, climate activists have either greatly exaggerated the issue or are flat out wrong.
Photo link from the Climate Hustle website.
“Climate Hustle” shows how the notion of a “scientific consensus” on climate change is pure fabrication and is simply a political tool used to stifle debate.
The film features expert opinions and data to reveal that on virtually every claim in the climate debate, climate activists have either greatly exaggerated the issue or are flat out wrong.
“Climate Hustle” viewers will also get a look at the increasingly outlandish claims of activists who, in a form of “climate astrology,” want to blame every bad weather event – and societal evil – on man-made global warming.
The film is not a one-sided documentary with only one narrative presented. Instead, “Climate Hustle” comes alive to the viewer with archival video clips and news footage spanning over 40 years. The film presents both sides of the climate debate in an engaging and pop culture-friendly way that walks viewers through the dire climate claims being made and examines them one by one.
The film features prominent scientists from around the world who used to warn about the dangers of man-made global warming but have reexamined the evidence and have now grown more skeptical or become outright skeptics of man-made climate change fears.

Click on this line to visit the Climate Depot official website. I have followed the “Climate Depot” website for a number of years, finding it thanks to the great Drudge Report website. It is refreshing to be able to learn facts about both sides of the Global Warming debate.
