southern utah & vegas? well maybe. and now i have finished i have decided yes. two part titles.

its warm. this is a revelation for me, the bottom of utah is all deserty so later jacket jeans and shoes. hello t shirt shorts and jandals. it was an amazing feeling. who needs summer anyway? a discovery i didnt make on this trip is that girls love to shop. i made this discovery long ago, so hello there sports bar. i presume that being utah most of the people there are somewhat regulars, as they dont have much else place to be. so i sat myself down and met a kindly old couple on my left and another guy on my right. the guy on the right was far more interesting to talk to. i was having such conversations as the tv with the nba on was pretty much directly above the bar, so anyone wanting to watch had to tilt there head way back and strain their eyes. which i could stand for the heat knicks game. until it was switched to the jazz mavs game. and neither dirk or jason kidd were playing. so i learnt a little about vegas from my new old friend. i also learnt that beer here still isnt as good. i need to stop comparing beer to europe or i shall have a depressing trip i feel. few drinks later and the jazz lost again, well got killed, and the girls came to pick me up, successful day. Once in vegas i learned a few things about the people. they either work there, are partying the 'party of their lives' , getting married, homeless, or passing out flyers for the "most exotic women on the strip". this is pretty much everyone in vegas. and its wonderful. this time with my present company i did the touristy see the sights vegas. i didnt know it was possible either. but i have two nights back there in a week. so I'll have my opportunity to have the 'party of my life' or just sit myself down for a few drinks lose some money and be a true part of the city that goes 24 hours a day. il sleep on the bus. just dont get married. number one rule of this trip, dont get married, number two, no children. oh yea the homeless people. best homeless beggar sign i have seen " not going to lie, need beer" good man, he probably has a good chance of getting money with the amount of drunk people loving the novelty of the idea. he probably could use it for something better, but whatever makes you happy. i am aware that a lot of these have become about what i am actually doing. a lot of these i am writing a number of days after the actual doing. you try remember what you were imagining three days ago, especially with the amount of imagining that has come in between. its hard work. but as im sure i have previously mentioned, i dont really mind. I'll just write whatever i feel like at the time. like seeing water that appears to have frozen over. the idea of finding out if the water is frozen is way better than the actually knowing. you throw a twig, and it sits on the top, but a twig would sit on water, so you hunt for something bigger, you find a rock. generally the rock goes KASPLOOSH! and then you wonder if that was because of the ice being thin or if you threw it a little hard. either way the ice is no longer ice and it doesn't even look so good anymore. and on you go, about your merry way. maybe jump over a pole. something i missed doing in st george was leapfrogging over the statue of the boy leapfrogging the pole. sad regrets.
