The statue of Helmuth von Moltke the Elder (on the right), glumly looking up at the Victory Column, thinking why does fraulein get such a big column, while I get a little one? You can also see the bike I rented to tool around Berlin. Lovely bike lanes in this city!
Below’s another view of the two statues. . . . poor little Helmuth.

Homelessness is big problem in Vegas. . . Sad story, but here’s a photo of two guys, Siegfried & Roy, who have been camping out for years, alongside their pet lion, in the bushes in front of the Mirage.

I ran into a displaced, homeless guy on the Boulder Creek Path. . . his name, Chief Niwot.
Marie Curie, looking a little green.
