We went to the Grand Canyon yesterday. Big Rip-off. I'm getting awful tired of spending an arm and a leg to see holes in the ground. Sure, it's big, but it's FILLED, absolutely filled with really ugly tourists and their kids who are very bored. The food at the restaurant there sucked too. $10 to get stuck in traffic and see a hole in the ground. Damn.

Now for some good and happy news.

We stayed in Laughlin, NV last night. It's just barely in Nevada, and supposedly the city didn't even exist - like there was nothing there at all - in 1970. Now, there are tons of casinos and hotels...in the middle of nowhere. NOWHERE. Very scary. The good part is that we got a room at a big ass hotel for $17. Wow. I ended up gambling away quite a bit of money, though, so it turned out to be a pretty expensive night, but it was fun.

Today we drove through 100 miles of nothing, very hot nothing, to Vegas. We have a free room here for two nights. We won and lost money tonight, and came out behind. Darn. Maybe tomorrow will be better. We're trying to win big money so that we can put out this issue of the magazine. It'll happen. We've got tons of really nice pictures. You'll see, soon as we can get them to a scanner.
