EDWARD GOREY GOOGLE DOODLE: Happy Birthday, Edward Gorey!

Born on Feb 22, 1925, Gorey would have been eighty-eight now. Although my wife is not a fan, I always got his drawings and tales oddly alluring. Horrible things occurred, occasionally for no discernible reason. 

Sometimes, nothing occurred. Compared to former picture books, these were strange and terrific things, something you were not sure was meant for kids despite outward appearances.

Edward Gorey expired in 2000 at the age of seventy-five, but naturally he lives on, both in his own books and in the works of whole the artists he inspired. Live near Boston? It might be worth establishing the drive out to the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth.

Google celebrates Gorey’s birthday with a doodle: Gorey himself and the tentative Guest grace the big G, with an assortment of other characters in the others.

TODAY IS NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY

TODAY IS NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY

Announcing a NationalMargarita Day in late Feb creates about as much sense as calling for a National Chicken Consomme Day a couple of weeks later the Fourth of July: It’s just not the season for it.

Look, perhaps you are happy drinking margaritas whole year, but the best mode to enjoy one (other than on the rocks with salt) is on a sun-drenched patio in the heat of summer. And with today’s temperature just north of freezing and a wintry mix in the forecast, its curious timing. It is yet brown liquor season for a different few months!

If you are less contravened about your seasonal beverage choices, however, you perhaps interested to recognize that Stoney’s offers half-price margaritas on Fri* from 5 to 7 p.m. Elsewhere, Tortilla Coast and Cafe Deluxe are serving $5 El Jimador Margaritas whole day, Bandolero‘s house margarita is $6 from 4 to 7 p.m. and El Chucho‘s house peculiar margarita made with reposado tequila goes for $7.

RAPPER KENNY CLUTCH KILLED IN MASERATI: LAS VEGAS STRIP SHOOTING

 : Police told people inside a black Range Rover fired gunshots at a Maserati that then crashed on the Las Vegas strip Thursday. Three people, letting in rapper KennyClutch, were killed and numerous others were wounded.

Allotting to Las Vegas Police, around 4 a.m. Thursday a quarrel in the valet area of the Aria Hotel touched off the wildness. At the intersection of Flamingo and Las Vegas boulevards, a passenger in a black Range Rover fired on the driver of a Maserati, who then drove through a red light and rammed into a taxi. The taxi burst into flames, trapping and killing the driver and his passenger.

The crash set off a chain-reaction of hits in the intersection. 4 other vehicles were involved. Various people were wounded. Police tell the driver of the Maserati, Kenneth Cherry, better known as rapper  Kenneth Cherry, was killed by the gunshot.

The Range Rover sped from the scene. Police established a multi-state search for the vehicle. It was distinguished as having dark tinted windows and black rims. It reportedly abided out-of-state dealer license plates. The Vegas Strip reopened Thursday night. The violence amazed visitors to the notable tourist goal.

"That was insane. I walked out of the hotel this morning and there was like police tape all over," told Jared Bates of Ohio. Back in 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur was shot and killed just a couple of 100 yards from Thursday's crime scene.
