WHO'S THE DUMBO ...?

It was 'Up, Up and Away' for me today as I stumbled across a Flying Elephant in the courtyard at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. And it wasn't just any Flying Elephant. It swooped-in directly from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. Apparently, before he died, Michael Jackson began selling off bits and pieces of his rides at Neverland. A company called Butler Amusements acquired the Flying Elephant pictured above and the rest is HIStory. Between the Neverland ride and the Gingerbread house, I can't help wondering what the Fairmont will think of next. Far be it from me to criticize, but I have a sneaking hunch that one of the waiters in the restaurant downstairs is Bubbles the Chimp in disguise ...!
