Trust me: You WILL notice the changes, especially if you fly in at night. There are so many more casinos and theme parks than there were when you were here, last. The streets are much wider and MUCH busier, and depending on where you stay, people are ruder.

You’ll have fun, though, because there are lots of things to see for free, depending on the amount of free time you have.

My memories of Las Vegas are very, very few. I was there for an exhibition -- my company was showing off its brand-new line of networked microcomputers (very rare in those days -- the first IBM PC had not yet appeared on the market) but we were having problems with them not (always) booting up. So I spent most of the show holed up in a closet somewhere, trying to figure out what was wrong in the code.

It wasn't until several weeks later that I found the problem, and then by accident. I had had an oscilloscope hooked to one of the machines' main voltage supply, and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a very brief pulse downward while the machine was booting. After many tries I found the 'scope settings that would show it and... sure enough, my boss had designed the power supply with very slim margins (to save cost), and there was an instant in the boot sequence where more power was needed than the supply could provide, so the voltage dipped barely into the region where the processor could become unstable. grrr...

That's my main memory of Las Vegas. *\;-)

Don't know how much time I'll have free. Little during the days, likely, though evenings may be possible.

[Monkey Face]

Evenings are best to see free things here, anyway. BUT! IF you decide to ride the Strip Bus, hide your wallet in a front pocket or someplace difficult to get to. Pickpockets like to ride, and though RTC tries to do all they can, you can still lose valuables.

That also holds true if you’re on a walking tour. They love to bump into you. The best is to carry things in a small flat “purse” that you can hang around your neck.

(This used to be such a nice “small town.”)

[sionnsar]

Heh. I have that “man bag” given as a gift from a Japanese colleague. I’ve seen some men in Europe using them...

[sionnsar]

But probably just use the backpack...

[Monkey Face]

Some of the more street-wise kids here carry their backpacks inverted, so the pockets with flaps and zippers are to their backs, not the street.

I just say: whatever works!

The Bellagio and its dancing fountains is a good show, as is Treasure Island’s nautical show. The Volcano is always good, and the Sahara has an underground rollercoaster. Circus-Circus still hasthe Adventure Dome, and that’s always fun. The place I like to send people to is Fremont Street.

The Fremont Street Experience (canopy light show) and the Neon Museum are both worth the trip from the South Strip.

[sionnsar]

Dang! Quite a story -- perfect for Christmas.

[sionnsar]

Guess I’ll have to get a guide from you when the time gets closer. I’ll very likely fly in mid-day, to get time to check in, get oriented, review my presentation... and it will be SO nice to not have to be at the airport 6 - 7 AM for a trip.

[Monkey Face]

*snif*

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

I’m at your beck and call! We can go downtown, or stay in the ‘hood. I’ve seen it all, but I’m an excellent tour giude!

There’s even a Holy Cow micro-brewery on the Strip!

[sionnsar]

Yah. You know, I think the Funky Winkerbean strip was headed for something similar -- there were hints at times of such a reunion between the mother (one of the characters) and her baby given up for adoption many years ago.

But ever since the local paper shut down, I've lost touch with the strip. (Though I never forgave the paper for dropping Kudzu back in the late 80s /early 90s. Now it's gone forever -- Doug Marlette, R.I.P.)

[sionnsar]

LOL — sounds like fun! For some years now I don’t drink beer except when traveling... but I guess I’ll be traveling, no?

[Monkey Face]

The one I miss is Calvin & Hobbes, but I get that in email every day, so that’s good. Of course, I also have most of the books, but after six years, the guy said, “There’s only so much you can do with a six year old.” True. But he could have waited a year or two.... :o[

I also miss Mother Goose and Grimm, but only because I don’t take the paper.

And with that, I’m off for the night.
I’ll see y’all tomorro!

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

Yes, you will! There’s also a beer bar at Palace Station that has bazillions of imported beers. Yummy!

[sionnsar]

T’morry!

[Das Outsider]

"El-Face-O" it is!

Is the CFIDS acting up again?

[Das Outsider]

At least the Plutonians have a unique status of their own, mutual tidal locking with their moon. Tell them to chill.

The whole thing's on ice at the moment. They're too a-flutter over "Plutonian Idol" to care much. Of course, February--on Earth, in the Northern Hemisphere--is "Tidal Locking Awareness Month."

Pluto has been fun, and since landing, I've found these lost kittens. Their tags say "Schrödinger ." After six months of searching, I still can't find the guy!

Maybe Jupiter?

[sionnsar]

Good night, all!

[Das Outsider]

Hope there are sugarplums dancing in your head, Sion—although the image is a little creepy, come to think of it. Perhaps California Raisins instead. ;)

[NicknamedBob]

I don’t think California Raisin dancing is conducive to sleep.

There is a candy made to resemble sugar plums, (I think). It’s the gummy wedges with sugar coatings.

Anyway, about Pluto, be cautious with those kittens. I’d suspect their housebrokenness is a little uncertain.

As far as Shröedinger himself, I heard that he disappeared one day in a bout of solipsistic self-doubt.
