Yep. I did it. I used the cliche. Unfortunately for all yous I'm gonna hold to it. But I will post some pictures from Vegas. Including some not related to gambling. The first full day in Vegas my brother and I went to the Air Force base to get a military discount on show tickets. (Tax dollars Hard at work) When what to our wondering eyes did appear? A practice run for an airshow the next day. Well needless to say we stopped and watched. PS. The F22 is unbelievable to watch in flight. So here- drool.
The always cool Stealth
The sexy new raptor
Yep, that's a REALLY big bomb
The remote controlled Reaper- Comes in
Small, Medium and Venti
In other news we went back to the Hoover Dam to see it in the glory of daylight. And a glory it is. As my brother pointed out something like this would never be built today, the activists would never let it. But I will say one thing, back then they built pretty. The whole art deco theme is unbroken and lends at least a little bit of class to the concrete randomly stuffed into a canyon. If you ever get a chance to go see it- do. It's one of the last attractions you can see for free... for now. You may notice that in the background and above this wonder is the skeleton of a brand new bridge over and above the whole canyon. Truly a new wonder in it's own right, and given the recent threats against the dam I can see why they don't want everyday traffic on it any more. I sense a toll or fee coming soon to the original road over it, so again go now while it's free. Minus of course our taxes...
Valiantly they died, but not
for all those golf courses
Why don't we do this anymore?
Because I wasn't smart enough
to get the dam in the pic
Big needless road.
Betcha it'll be ugly
The MONEY shot
Always-
could we liquefy, you and I?
