Eating turkey is not the only plate serving during Thanksgiving although I do like turkey along with other meats ;o)So with that being said ... "Who's ready for the Thanksgiving holiday"?

Fireweed Flowers are a native wild flower that grows all over the state of Alaska, and these beautiful flowers are growing on our properties in Alaska.My wife has been pointing out to me beautiful moved green lawns in Alaska saying she wants our properties to look like this.But low and behold only to find out later on in the summer that 50% of our properties are covered with these beautiful Fireweed Flowers.So for now it looks like approx. 50% of the properties will be getting mowed because I (will not) be cutting or mowing down the beautiful Fireweed Flowers on our properties.Here are 3 photos of the Fireweed that my wife took yesterday on our properties ;o)

Why Robert Vegas Bob Swetz doesn't Celebrate Christmas & other Holidays   Around 20 years ago Robert Swetz gave up the Celebration of Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween and other major Holidays. Several of the reasons Vegas Bob gave up the Celebration of Holidays was:     1.  Because there wasn't any children around VB at this time to make it fun. 2.    Because VB wasn't into the Commercialism attached to the major Holidays. 3.      Because VB found out that he is part Jewish and Holidays are Celebrated differently. 4.  And as for Birthdays, well ... we are only Born Once so there is no reason to Celebrate a persons Birthday again. That is unless the person is under the age of 12, over 12 years of age (NOT)!   And the (Main Reason) would be ...     Because Robert Swetz feels "EVERYDAY"...

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz headed to Fairbanks & The North Pole Sunday ;o) Vegas Bob is taking a drive Sunday morning to Fairbanks which is about a 6+ hour drive one way from Anchorage. VB will be staying the night so as to not spend the whole trip driving. The leaves are already changing in parts of Alaska so VB will have his camera out. Sunday & Monday are both suppose to be sunny days. There have been "Solar Flares" in the Northern Hemisphere so VB will also be looking for the Northern Lights dancing across the midnight sky. The town called The North Pole is only 30 minutes from Fairbanks so VB will be taking photos of Christmas displays during the day and night. There are street signs named Santa Clause Lane, etc and the whole town is all about Christmas ...  "So Stay Tuned" ;o)

For quite some time now Vegas Bob has been interested in being licensed in 2 different states. As everyone knows VB is licensed in the State of Nevada but has always wanted to also be licensed in the state of California. Well this dream may have taken a turn ... Now with family and friends in Alaska, VB is thinking of getting licensed in AK vs Cali and also keep his license active in Nevada. And even if VB doesn't get licensed to sell Real Estate in the state of Alaska, he will continue visiting whenever possible. So VB has made his mark in the beautiful state of Alaska, with stories, photographs and videos within the World Wide Web. And until VB gets more photos and or videos loading up try searching on Google ... Robert Vegas Bob Swetz Alaska ;o)
