<<People who brag about being friends with people in the Mafia are just about on the bottom of my sh!t list.>>

Sink me down there with the whale poop. Didn't know the guy building the home next door in the middle of Illinois had been "connected" until I'd known him about a year. He was a good neighbor except he liked to help, so many jobs took me twice as long. I taught him how to mow grass, that's how cityfied he was. But when I needed a ride or help getting my mother-in-law to the doctor he was right there.

There is not very much lost gambling going on in Vegas. Some, I'm sure, but you don't see it. Reno, I've seen it.

Vegas isn't like that. The gambling is only maybe a third of the place or less. True it pays for everything, but it's a LOT of everything, and some pretty weird everythings. If you haven't been, you haven't been.

Broadway, Disneyland, City-Wide Museum of Hi Tech, Architecture, Art, Design, Staging, Marketing, Engineering, People-Handling (!), Security, Landscaping, Fine Construction, Grandiosity (something lacking in most of America), Food, "Tasteful" Titilation, Thrill Rides Extraordinaire, History, Fortunes, Nice rooms for cheap, Good weather, Swimming, Natural Wonders Nearby ~ it's a waaaaaay cool place, and we don't gamble and get depressed when we run into the kind of gamblers yer talking about.

I even considered moving there, as it's the only place I've found as weird as I.

Seriously.

I thought I could get a Weird Job.

Where can you get a Weird Job?
