A City Built on Losers

I took a trip, took a dip into the beauty of Las Vegas Nevada, it wasn't beautiful though. Did you know that Vegas is growing at a rate of 100 people per sq mile, or something. Since the last time I was there (4-5 years ago) there weren't any houses behind my Uncle, now I don't know where the houses end in any direction!
Anyway it's up to a million and a quarter residents. I don't get the attraction to, desert land, zero water, extreme dryness and wind plus you lose your money everywhere. I know where every casino is, but i can't tell you where the library or city hall is. That town is shrouded in unrealism, one day on the strip and you forget that this city is running itself into the ground. Oh well their problem.
We painted my Uncle's house on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, getting out only for paint supplies and visits to his 5 kids who live in Las Vegas. On Sunday we went to the strip, no Celine Dion, just a lot of people, and smoke. I liked the statue men in the Venitian, who never moved .
Oregon greeted us with rain, but the rest of the day was truely beautiful.
