I picked up some more CAMP, SSTI, and TXCC today....and still looking optimistically forward. I'm back in Las Vegas at my brother's condo... we came back from the Monterrey Peninsula today to join some family for Thanksgiving. Golfing was great, but maybe I'm getting a little too decrepit to do the good courses justice. I failed to break 100 on Spyglass Hill, even though I birdied one of the par 5's....can't remember when I've had a round over 100--- but that is one tough course. I visited most bunkers at least once, and they have a lot of them. Cypress Point was better...I had a caddy there, and with his guidance was able to score 93. Not great, but at least stayed under that dreaded century mark. We toured Pebble Beach and Spanish Bay, but didn't have time to play either -- and couldn't get reservations at Pebble in any case. They are really booked ahead. The scenery there is spectacular -- we saw lots of local deer at Cypress, as well as sea otters and sea lions on No 15, a 235 yard par three across a deep ocean inlet. What an incredible view!!--I swear Cypress gets it's high ranking solely because of the views...which are considerably better than Pebble Beach, by the way. Anyway, back to business... I'll be getting rid of some excess cash at Bellagio and Tropicana, and will catch a couple of shows. Meanwhile, the disaster they call a market is creaming me!! Do you suppose there is any way we could dissuade "Al" from continuing this election theft?.... he could really help the markets by, for example, falling in front of a train. Not that I would wish him any ill...well, at least not much.... right! I hope to be back home and fully on line by the end of the month. Meanwhile, if you are inclined to us a "Naz Jack" please do so!! cheers! tso
