We were in Vegas on April 1st which was the night of the Country Music Awards. Lots of cowboy hats. I've also been in Vegas for the National Rodeo in December. The Vegas Hilton is the headquarters..lots of cowboy boots and hats then.
We stopped in Yuma the first night and snuck right up to the AZ/Mx border to get a glimpse of the site where the levee/damn broke in 1905 which created the Salton Sea. Nothing there now. It was the catalyst for creating the Hoover Dam
Did you know that it was originally called Hoover Dam, but FDR insisted (spitefully) on calling it Boulder Dam. In 1947 after FDR was safely dead, Congress officially renamed it Hoover Dam.
Well, I took 4 days off the interwebs, but I have to say that I missed you guys (all of youse) and thought of you. Human relations and communications are weird that way.
Yes it looks like it.

ReplyDeleteCaptain Chickie.
ReplyDeleteSo we're back. Stayed at the MGM signature, top floor. it was fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy highlight was shooting 50 furtive spurts of hot molten projectile which thoroughly penetrated the intended target.
I love Vegas.
Oh, yeah, I thought of cousin Ron when eating at the Hofbrauhaus--it's a replica of the one in Munich--where the the whole Putsch went down.
ReplyDeleteGosh you must be awfully tired Chickie.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you have at the Hofbrauhaus?
ReplyDeleteWhat did you have at the Hofbrauhaus?

Bought two mugs "World's greatest Oma" and 'World's Greatest Opa" for the wife's parents.
ReplyDeleteYes, they love me.

ReplyDeleteDude. I did not know that you that you used those Craigslist casual encounters ads.
My parents had Opa und Oma mugs, wish I knew what happened to them.
ReplyDeleteJetzt wassert meine Mund.
Jetzt wassert meine Mund.
ReplyDeleteHast Du 'was schmutzig gesagt?
Nein, Du hast mir hungrich gemacht.
ReplyDeleteOh, I completely missed that! Do they really have the same idiom "mouth watering"? I misread it as "mouthwashing"
ReplyDeletelol
We almost went there when Germany was playing Italy in the World Cup but we figured it would be too crazy.
ReplyDeleteSo we stayed in the condo at a cabana and had a barbeque.
We bet on Italy so we won.
You don't want to be around Germans when they lose. Just sayn'
Do they throw beer bottles, like in Wisconsin?
ReplyDeleteChickie, I really don't know, I think I remember my parents saying it. It just popped in my head.
ReplyDeleteThrowing beer bottles? That's like the cold weather house trespassing myth.

ReplyDeleteI might post some machine gun video if I can get it off my son's phone.
ReplyDeleteLock and load!
ReplyDeleteYeah that trespassing story had me going, I think he, David, was trying to pass it off as real, or am I gullible?
ReplyDeleteMachine gun? Ohhhhhh.......
Set phasers on "lotsa holes in crap".
ReplyDeleteYeah, 50 spurts of lead...had you going too, huh? ;)
ReplyDeleteI was actually quite impressed.
