Continued backlog from Jan 2007 US trip.....
Another random picture while I'm at it. New Years in Deadwood, SD was a beaut. A female friend from Gillette (now Pierre, SD) met me in Rapid City and we travelled to Deadwood. Think Vegas, but colder and only about 1/500th the size...and fat Northern folks. Small stakes gambling and pay-as-you-play drinks. The free stuff is draft beer, but it worked to fend off the cold and get us both stinkin' lousy smashed. I think we were able to amass a great fortune of about $20 on slots to contribute to our childrens' college fund. I was trying to play the couple slant at the casinos to try and score some freebies...didn't happen.
LAS VEGAS golfing. I thought it was supposed to be warm in Vegas all the time. The water hazard was frozen...ducks walking around on the ice and shit! It did help keep a few balls out of the drink, though. This particular course did not have enough toilets around the joint, as Hole #9 became the temporary toilet for the infant-sized bladder of sen'or Weav. The golf was abysmal, except for a few King-Kong drives from the thunder stick of Weav, and my 3" short 60' putt across an up/down/left/right green.
The water hazard on the right is actually 3" of ice against the back half. I bounced a ball across it...twice.
