Vegas or Bust

Guess what friends!

I just went WAR DRIVING!!! We just found an internet connection from some place across from an OBGYN…the name of the connection was “jamaica”

Oh the covertness that is Novel Concept. I’m freakin’ amazing!

So…Las Vegas. Ummm…it’s an interesting place. I’m looking out my window and I’m seeing the Las Vegas Club hotel and casino, right across the street from Sam Boyd’s California Hotel and Casino. If you’re looking for gaudy…you’re gonna find it here. I’m amazed at the number of lights flashing. I think when people were claiming that Japanese Anime cartoons were giving kids epileptic fits, they’d never tried to take them to Vegas. I haven’t even made it to the strip and I’m twitching. Oh look…it’s Lady Luck, and the US Bank. I wonder if the number of colors/lights on your building directly correlates to the amount of business here. That’d be an interesting study for the Board to look into…I’m sure it’s been done somewhere. Ooooo…El Cortez Casino…and then hotel. Interesting. I wonder if their casino has the curse of the Aztecs on it. Maybe you can hook up with a dead pirate or two while there. WOW! Steak and Lobster for $9.95!

On a more unrelated note, some of you may have seen the blog that I did about when we drove from California to (OOOHHHHH!!!! SPACE NEEDLE!!!!!! Back to the sentence) Tennessee. I was rather anti-Nevada in that post…and I can’t say that I’d like to live here, but I find the green that’s around (yes, you DID read that right…it’s green!) to be rather appealing…especially when coupled with the amazing sky. Ooo-da-lolly for a wonderful desert sunset.

Wow…suddenly we’re in Maryland…and now in Bonanza. I guess I should tell you who the “we” I’m talking about are. It’s none other than Uffish Thought and Phoenix. Guess who we’re going to see…THOR! I’m so excited. The car ride over here has been quite lovely. A nap, snackety snacks, and some Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away), along with some verra nice music-provided by Phoenix’s Driving Mix, and Uffish’s “A Disk for Thursday.” Mmmm..great friends. Also, we saw some interesting beer in one of the gas stations. It’s called Wasatch Beer, and one was called “Provo Girl” The other one was called “Polygamy Porter” and the motto with it was “Why have just one?” Oh, funny.

GUESS WHAT?!?! We just found I-15! We’ve been driving around for a little while trying to follow the signs to the interstate…and it’s not been working. Finally, we’re getting there….as soon as all these other silly cars stop coming.

Woo Hoo! We just found our exit…sweet sassy molassy. This is gonna be amazing. I’m afraid I’ll have to go for now…I’ll write some more later. I have a feeling this is going to be an entirely blog-worthy trip.
