I'm more excited about Hoover Dam, frankly. But then I've never been in Vegas except for a short layover in the airport, which has its own gambling area full of slot machines AND you can see the Strip from the windows.
Seriously, slots in the airport?

Our wings are not tired.
Ha, there are slots everywhere. Enjoy, Connie! I loved going to Hoover Dam. I went before the big new bridge, which looks horrifying to height phobic me.
I am going to Vegas some time next month. Not sure what side trips yet.

I went over the big new bridge when I did my Grand Canyon tour last year. We went over the dam at night on the way back. Gorgeous. But many years ago, when we went to Arizona every winter, we'd go over the dam. One year they closed the dam, and we had to take a four-hour detour through badlands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm already planning my Vegas trip in August -- too far away!

Slots everywhere! And breathalyzers for sale in the airport news stands.
I'm way over this snow y'all. And there's more coming (and it's snowing now). Wtf Seattle.

"Yeah, my Mom is (real name), but she kind of doesn't want me to do bad things so I try to do good things."
Ha! It's true. We don't want our children to do bad things.

Hec, it was really hysterical. She sounded like a bored teenager when she was saying it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You can trust me, I'm a software developer.
Totally stealing this for my resume and/or next performance review.
The only hitch is that those will be read mostly by software developers.

Why for is it Monday? All the animals are fed and the garbage and recycles are curbside. Zoe gets 3 pill pockets plus the pills she eats without disguise with her food in the morning. Then 2 pill pockets with dinner. She takes I think 14 pills a day now. I had to cut back her food a bit because she was gaining weight from all the pill pockets. Kitties know the old lady gets fed first then it is their turn. They scamper into their room where they get breakfast and then stay secured there so Zoe can have the back doors open to go in and outside as she pleases for a couple hours. We've settled into a routine. Maybe a couple more weeks and I'll test letting the kitties outside. They really like us at this point so I expect they won't bolt. It will be a process I'm sure.
