Las Vegas

I just got back from a visit to Las Vegas.  This is my first time to actually stop in Las Vegas as an adult.  The purpose of the trip was to visit my grandson:

But just so you know I really did go to Las Vegas:

I saw a Beatles group while there. It was very entertaining.  I didn’t gamble even one cent.  I had a very good burger at Fatburger.

There are some strange people on the strip.  I was there the day before Halloween. I can imagine what it looked like on Halloween.

It was good to be back in some high desert country for a bit.  Though I think Las Vegas would be too hot for me in the summer.  We took a beautiful drive up Red Rock Canyon. 

I was really wishing I had my bike for that loop.  There were many cyclists on the loop.

I also took a trip to tour Hoover Dam. It was  dam’ good trip.

After having lived in several states and visiting Las Vegas  I have come to one conclusion.  Here in the D.C. area we have a better class of derelicts.

    So…of all the places you have been…where do you like the most? Or what things would you look for in a “perfect” place to live?

    Just recently I was counting up the number of places I have lived since I first got married. It is a lot. More than a dozen in the last 30 years and several states. Through all that I have learned a few things. When you leave a place you remember the best parts and forget the bad parts. Because of that, you think you can find a “perfect” place that has all the best of every place you have lived. I learned that Eutopia doesn’t exist.

    The other thing I learned just confirmed what a mentor used to tell me when I was growing up on the farm. He said it doesn’t matter where you live but how you live. I have found that to be the truth when it come to happiness. You can be happy anywhere. It comes from inside and is not based on where you live.
