I won enough to pay for cab fare

Well, I have now returned from Las Vegas. In order to fully return to normalcy, I did an hour of yard work earlier today. No flashing neon lights involved in that.

Anyways, there are some interesting things hiding just behind the big Strip resorts, as the photo demonstrates. Las Vegas - constantly plowing over itself for 100 years.

Also, it turns out that some of my traveling companions are recorded musicians. Check out their music (note: these are real honest endorsements and are in no way payback for the free CDs I got). First, there's the Latino-Jewish rap sensations Hip Hop Hoodios, co-fronted by the mysterious Josue Noriega. And don't forget country-fried city boys the Cobble Hillbillies. Who's that on bass? None other than young Sir Robert Bentley!
