To see that nothing has changed much. Hopefully some warmer weather
is on it's way and the few boaters here can actually... boat.

I'm sitting on the 58th floor of the Wynn Hotel out in Vegas enjoying
the view. Nice hotel, but the food prices are crazy. Expense
accounts are your friend!

Going to see a Cirque du Soleil show tonight. Saw "Ka" a couple of
years ago, it's worth going to if you're ever out this way.

You folks have a good one, I'm looking forward to finishing up out
here and getting back home. It looks like the warm weather has turned
the corner for us and I'll be getting out on the lake more often.
Summer here we come!

play some too. The group, is what you choose to read.

Nope, business. You didn't notice "expense account?"
Good weather is your friend.
And so are taxpayer-subsidized, socialist corporate expense accounts.
Tax exemptions. Free money.
BTDT.
Similar to union membership, but without the work.

Why, thanks! This annual show helps bring in business, to the tune of
continously employing about 80 hard-working, taxpaying Americans. Add
their taxes on top of what the owners and business pays, and Uncle Sam
does quite well on his return on that little break the expense account
gets.

All of that, and it's still a small, privately-owned business that
needs no government handouts to stay afloat. We do quite well, no
need to buy special foreign-made screwdrivers, ya know? We've been
able to weed out the folks that were only there to cash a paycheck,
and kept the people that truly care about the company, work hard, and
want to be respected because they earn it. That's a great formula to
build a strong and sound company. Unions just can't do that, can
they? The union leaches get the same raises as everyone else, through
coersion and strong-arm tactics. Hello GM.

Oh, and thanks again for subsidizing the great meal and show I'm about
to receive tonight. I'll do my part in converting it to keeping those
80 true-blue Americans at work. After all, if I don't, I'll be
looking for another job. That's the one great motivator that the
union pukes just don't have, eh?

Here's hoping the snow melts, the rain quits, it warms up, and all you
old codgers can improve your dispositions. Hey, there's always hope!!

Hey... I plead not guilty to those three charges! I'm straight-up,
not rich but doing OK, and not old, at least not compared to the old
farts in this NG.

Heh... I've been out here since Sunday, but the expenses account
doesn't kick in until tonight. That's when works "starts", until then
it's been on my dime. My wife and I have been having fun,
though! :-)

We just saw "Ovo" this past Friday. Probably not their best show, but
outstanding nonetheless.

Gonna be 80 here tomorrow and we are getting out.


Went to Sacramento today for the Pacific Fisheries Management Council
meeting. Some rain on the way back and forcast record lows. Frost in some
places. Not taking the boat out tomorrow.

night. We left just ahead of it headed north. Ran through some light rain
near St. George.

37 years in Teamsters here. Wouldn't know about the no work part. But the
benefits are STILL rolling in. I hope Obama keeps his sweetheart agreement

Le Reve at the Wynn. Not actually a Cirque show, but still pretty
good. Think dancing, acrobatics and diving, all in water, of course.
Lots of wire work.

We wanted to see Zumanity, but the show schedule didn't work.

been to Las Vegas for two years.
