I forgot to mention that I got randomly selected for additional searchings at airport security, and then their machine said “Explosives detected” about my hands, so I got even more additional searchings. I was not carrying any explosives. We figured it must have been the nail polish remover, which I hadn’t washed off.
We went to a grocery store to get some breakfast/lunch, and my mom claimed that the guy in the deli was smitten with me. His name was CLYDE, which is a funny name. I ate all the food in the world and felt replete, and with the warm sun through the car window I was extremely satisfied.
Hoover Dam is freaking awesome. How the hell do you even build a dam. Seriously. Next we will meet Mostle and Jakebii and see what then. Last I heard they were approaching the city from afar.
Also, we found some important signs in the vicinity of the dam:
Neither matches nor open lights are allowed to be smoked in these parts.
No way! That is a bummer. I had a random check once and it soured my experience of the trip. I am glad that you can still laugh it off and make the best of it.
Uoo! You are already breaking hearts… Have fun and I’m glad that you are enjoying the scenery. *^_^*
To build a damn, you just need a beaver!
The machine was simply registering the unbridled awesome that flows from your fingers. Generally you use this for words. Sometimes you use this for arts. It is powerful. Aren’t you glad science has caught up with you?
I’m amazed at how much the new bridge has changed since I was in Las Vegas. (It was barely started back then.) It looks really good. Maybe I’ll be able to go across it by the next time I go to Las Vegas. :-)
It’s badass to look at from below (obviously), and walking on it is pretty cool, but driving across it is surprisingly anticlimactic. The walls they’ve put up make it so you don’t even realize you’re over the deepest chasm. Which… actually… is also pretty cool, in its own way.
