Actually I've been back since Saturday, but I had to catch up on a lot of sleep.
If there was ever a definition of a nice place to visit, but not to live, it's got to be Nevada. Legalized gambling is not a good thing. Any change that might stay in your pocket ends up in one of the million slot machines. Even the parlors in Virginia City have more slot machines than liquor bottles. It's almost scary.
The bowling was fun, the bowling stadium is everything it's cracked up to be. The giant disco ball on the outside seems to draw bowlers into their Mecca. I had pictures, but they ended up blurry. I forgot about the delay of shutter speeds on digital cameras. But all you have to do is watch Kingpin again. The lanes were tough, or so everyone else thought, but I bowled my average. Even Mr. 300 couldn't pull that off. I should go pro.
Since I'm not a very big gambler, I agreed to pay out the nose to rent a van and go to Virginia City and Lake Tahoe. It was well worth it. I managed to get a couple good pics of the lake and they make a pretty good desktop. Too bad the sky was gray on the other side of the mountains. I will upload the ones I have and link to them later.
