                               Viva Lost Wages

Sorry for the lack of posts this past week, but I've been out in Las Vegas
[1], all 115°F of heat, hanging out with Hoade as he did research for his new
novel. We were lead to believe that the Hôtel San Rémo [2] had free wireless,
but as we found out, nothing in Las Vagas is free, and the Hôtel San Rémo was
no exception; it also didn't have wireless but ethernet so I was out of luck
in using my laptop (which only has wireless).

It'll be a few days before I work through the 350 plus photos and get the
write-up written. It's got chills (“Man, this hotel room is cold!”) and
spills (“Ouch! Oof! Umph! Ow! Yikes!”). It's got action (“Come on—baby needs
a new pair of shoes!” “This is a slot machine, not craps, and you don't even
have a baby!”) and romance (“So … how much you got? For five hundred I can
give you an excellent time.”). Intrigue (“What are you taking pictures of?”)
and conspriacy (“Bob Lazar [3] was forced to move to Mexico because of his
exposé of Area 51 [4].”). And the unexpected (“Dude, the power just went
out!” “Watch out for the slot zombies!”).

But first, I have to finish reading _Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince_
[5].

Sorry.
