I decided to goto Las Vegas, the first night I spent at Buffalo Bill’s hotel casino. It was a spur of the moment thing. My wife said, if we could get a room tonight, I would like to goto Vegas, tonight instead of waiting till tomorrow. my cousing said ShearchJeeves.com had the best prices an the best rooms. So I checked the price , I could not beleive it! $5.85 for the night. or  20 bucks for  4 nights. So we got the room, a very nice room an large.  the next night I got a room in down town Vegas. which I had already booked for 50 a night.  Bill’s room was  much larger an a lot nicer. an it’s only a 30 min drive to down town.  It snowed in the passes that night on the way, but coming back to California it was clear. We spent 3 days an had a great time. Oh I spent a few bucks, but didnt spend as much as I figured I would.

This is a picture taken in McMinnville Oregon December 2008, where I was born an lived most of my life.  they have had some unsual weather in the north west. usually the  snows dont hit hard till Feb. December being just a bit early.  by Feb. its going to look like the ice age in the NW at this rate.  I live in Bakersfield now, an its been cold an wet here … well cold for Bakersfield.
