Viva Lost Wages

Besides being 61 years since Oppenheimer became Shiva [1], it was one year ago today that I flew out to Las Vegas with my friend Hoade [2].

I must not have finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [3] since I haven't finished (or even started) the write up of the trip. I still have the notes, on 88 5×3″ pages (a small wirebound notebook).

Penny slots no longer> take pennies but> nickels. They are being> phased out for more money> making machines.

[Yes, all casinos have carpet like this] [4]

I really need to finish up writing about the trip, which included a sidetrip to Rachel, Nevada [6] which was eerily quiet (quiet enough to hear our shoes squeaking as we walked). I also forgot about the Chinese cook who threatened us with his mad martial knife arts at the Hôtel San Rémo buffet.

I really need to get this written up.
