And now the real post for today: Sin City -- we'll fit right in!

Leaving for Vegas in about five hours. If not back in a week, assume our sun-bleached bones are being picked apart by buzzards somewhere in the desert.

Neither of us has ever been west of Fort Worth. This trip will add four more states to our total (we'll pop over to California, just because it's right there), putting us well over half the states -- we've been to every one east of the Mississippi except Maine and NJ (Maine is full of moose and monsters; I'm counting Joisey as visited because I saw it from Manhattan and don't want to actually go there).

Incidental to the trip, Jeffie got my suits cleaned. On the dry-cleaning slip, "ties" was crossed out and "napkin" written in, for $1.50. I looked, and there it was, between the shirts, safety-pinned to its own hanger -- she'd accidentally picked up our stolen restaurant napkin when she took the pile of suits in from the car, and they cleaned it.

Yes, suits. We're going to be the best-dressed average people there!

(The music, by the way, is Elvis, ZZ Top, and the Dead Kennedys)

typewriters, awesome, driving, i've been everywhere, geography, dr. thompson, crazy schemes, timezone fuckery
