and we're at hour four of our ride back from Vegas

The car sickness is setting in. I guess it's probably not a good thing for me to be typing in this condition. it's bound to make it worse.

usually a four hour ride from Vegas has turned into a 6 hour ordeal. it was more or less bumper to bumper from Vegas to the checkpoint just outside of Barstow. 107 degrees. must be why there is at least 1 car every half a mile that was pulled over with some sort of mechanical failure. even a cop was on the side of the road changing a tire. in his uniform. with a bullet proof vest. in this heat. reason number 453 to thank our law enforcement officers.....and why i am not a cop. i prefer my office.

glad to be heading home. i hate vegas for many reasons. well, it's probably mostly just the strip. the reason biggest being the cigarette smoke. then the casino floor. we stayed at THE hotel (at madalay bay) this time. i have to admit that is was infinitely more relaxing that the other hotels that i have been to there. there is no smoking and there is no gambling. if i return to vegas, that is where i would stay again. I usually only go there for conventions....so it's not usually relaxing anyway.

wow. shocker. more traffic through victorville. this stop ad go stuff makes it worse for me. guess i'll have to sign off now before everyone in the car starts suffering. :)
