What's going on?

Until recently I was in the Trucking industry. Difficulties collecting bills and a general dislike of the business caused me to go into Real Estate. I thought it would be all polished shoes and polite behavior. I was wrong. At least in trucking the people who choose not to pay their bills on time have a healthy respect for the people they owe. I have never had to implement physical threats and find the idea repulsive, that is part of the reason I left trucking. Now I find myself dealing with ignorant, belligerent people that won't even lock a door behind them, because we are members of a "profesional organization"we have to be carefull what we say. Please choose your agent carefully. If you have a bad feeling you may be right. I'm not perfect, but I'll do my best.

VEGAS BABY!

We decided to get away for a few days, so we went to Vegas! In the past we stayed at big hotels on the strip, but I thought it would be fun to stay on Fremont St. We liked it very much, the food was less expensive and you don't have to walk a mile to go to the next Casino. The down side is that most of the shows are on the strip and the bus ride can take up to an hour depending on traffic. If you like to gamble and don't care about the shows Fremont is probably the way to go.

The fountain show in front of the Ballagio is entertaining and free.

Lions at the MGM Grand

We went to a show called Follies Bergere at the Tropicana. It is the old style Vegas production with lots of toppless dancers and some acrobatics. We both liked it, and it costs a lot less than a Cirque or Magic show, if you use the buy one get one free coupon in the Vegas show guide. We also went to the Improv at Harrahs, the best part of that was the comic making fun of the drunks who past out during the show.
