Its actually part time but if I need a 2nd job in order to make it I will do so. Im on LVD's roommate's computer right now so I am able to post this. Still, I have not even been here 24 hours and already I have a job

Congratulations! That must be some kind of a record.

Then I had made it from Lake Charles to Van Horn, then Van Horn on to Vegas yesterday. After San Antonio, I-10 was pretty desolate, and Van Horn is a tiny little town in the west TX desert off I-10

I officially hate the state of Arizona and their speed traps though. That photo enforcement IMO is entrapment. They got me 2x on Route 60 in the Sun City section of Phoenix, then again on US 93 just north of Kingman.

But the views along 93 in the Mojave Desert were breathtaking.

Getting stuck in traffic in New Orleans (Friday rush hour), Houston (Saturday rush?), and at Hoover Dam (BS Security check points, all the police officer said was "Have a good one" ) wasn't exactly fun either. Hoover Dam was the worst as far as traffic is concerned, it made me wish I had picked up 95 in Laughlin and went that way instead

I don't think I will be making the drive from El Paso to Las Vegas again anytime soon but I always liked driving through Texas Canyon and Wickenburg.
You need to change your status to "employed in no time flat on a holiday my first day in Vegas".

Default What to get a multi-millionaire for a wedding gift?

Headed out to Lake Las Vegas this weekend for a wedding. The couple is very well off and we are stumped on what to give people like this? Suggestions?

LVD didn't warn you about AZ? You know the AZ slogan: Vacation in AZ, leave on probation.

I don't know, is this you boss, or how do you know the person?

How about a Chumlee signed Pawn Stars coffee cup?

The drove away laughing, and I had smelly strawberry yogurt on one of my favorite shirts and arm.
I had some chocolate yogurt thrown at my backside when walking around Quito, Ecuador one afternoon on a busy street. The culprits? Two gray-haired senior citizens!

Here's the scheme: One throws the yogurt (Had a jacket on, never felt it hit me) then they stop you and say: Oh dear! Look what happened to you!

I turn my head and see the yogurt running off my jacket, down my pants.

"Here, we'll help you clean up" Out comes some napkins, they attempt to clean the yogurt off.

A block later, I discover my wallet had been lifted.
