Goin' to Vegas

Clodfobble · 01-17-2008, 12:37 PM

My cousin lived and worked in Vegas for several years. He said back in the neighborhoods, it is dark--no street lights or even porch lights in most places, nothing.

Undoubtedly Vegas' idea of energy conservation. Can't afford to light the neighborhoods when there's casinos to make visible from space.

Downloading the pics from my camera now. A little processing and resizing, and I'll post a few.

I got back into KCI at 10:15 last night. It was snowing like a bitch, and it took me an hour to get home from there on the snow packed highways. I can't really complain, though. Liz took a "luxury bus" from LA and back again. When I was sitting in the plane in Denver, my phone rang. It was Liz...seems the alleged luxury bus had broken down in the middle of the California desert somewhere between Barstow and Bakersfield. They were going to have to send a replacement bus from LA. She probably didn't get back home until 6:00 this morning. I'm going to call her shortly, as she has to go on duty at LA County Hospital in 90 minutes.

Third circle of hell, I'd say.

Liz got home at 2:30 AM PST. Bad enough, but coulda been worse.

Here's a pic of Liz at the Mirage pool...I don't think anyone will call me out if I say that she's one damn fine 49 year old woman. Why she has any interest in me at all remains a mystery...

Vegas is unreal...here's a couple of shots that prove it.

Lennon was definitely *not* thinking of a bar in a casino called "Revolution" when he wrote the song, or so I believe.

Even if he was, would he have ever imagined there'd be a nightclub claiming to be Taoist?

No, really, they apparently want you to believe there's some convergence between Vegas and Tao...

Did I mention that this woman is incredibly hot? Standing in the piazza of The Venetian, overlooking the Strip...

Hey!! I live on an almost direct path between Barstow and Bakersfield, and it isn't the third circle of hell, although Bakersfield might be, at least the part where the amtrak station is

Las Vegas is not a good town for psychedelic drugs. Reality itself is too twisted.
