Valley of Fire

Las Vegas sits in the middle of some of the most beautiful terrain this country has to offer.  And most of the millions of fucking tourists never see it.  It’s like they say, “ooh shiny!  oooh tits! ooh buffet!” and while they’re inundated by fake they quickly lose their hold on reality.
I mean, fuck, I [...]

Vegas usually annoys the piss out of me …

… seriously. It’s full of cheeseball douchebag wanna-be brainless fashion victims. It annoys me so much that normally I go windmill tilting and try to annoy it right back, but that has generally ended badly — like, my-friend-covered-in-a-third-party’s-blood badly — so I thought, okay, this time I’m going to play nice …

Glitz and Bits

Vegas, helloooo again!
Zoo and I are on a little R&R and hopped over to Fremont for some photo ops and she-nan-i-gans.

Reminds me of my head.

Rub it…

Zoo spotted this bar, had a hunch and made a run for it.

Music wasn’t impressive, but I felt like we were transported to Portland, OR. It was so NOT-VEGAS, chill, [...]

Day 10: Spammer’s Closing Thoughts, Part 1

Social spamming was hella fun.
Taking – no – MAKING time to have a road trip with Zoo Broker was one of the best decisions I have made this year, and let me tell you folks, it’s been a year for decisions. I so very enjoyed myself that it is hard to clearly explain. Perhaps all [...]

The Desert, the Mountains, Salt and the Road

Zoo found another winner today. After discovering we had 35 miles of construction between us and Salt Lake City, he chose a road north that connected with the arm of the salt flats we wanted to hit.
Below are images from just before we left paved road, to an unmapped (by Google) dirt road, Nevada to [...]

Juxtaposition

I’m sure there are two destinations within a few hundred miles that are more different than Elko, Nevada and Salt Lake City, but I’m hard pressed to think of another so polarized pair.
Elko: Whores, 24-hour access to alcohol and gambling, all-you-can-eat steakhouses.SLC: Mormans, 24-hour access to group prayer, and all-you-can-marry churches.
