Yeah, it's on. Just quiet.
And since it's a quiet spell, I'll mention that my wife and I went to
Wendover last Friday and took a few minutes to check out the Bend In
The Road and Land's End. Here are some pics I took:

The mud that the Bend is dry and hard. No problems there for the
moment. Land's End is surrounded by water. It's about 2 or 3 inches
deep in that area. I didn't go wading or driving in it to check it
any further. I hope it drys up nice and smooth by August.
Just as an aside, we went to the Nugget for a bit and found a strange
thing. Maybe things have been this way for a while and I just didn't
notice. I'm not a gambler at all...but my wife liked to play the
nickle slot machines from time to time. Well, there are still nickle
slots, but they don't take coins anymore. The take currency, credit
cards and credit slips that they print out when you cash out your
winnings. My wife was very disappointed with the experience. It
seemed to take all the fun out of it for her. Like I said, I'm not a
gambler, so it didn't make much difference to me...but it was strange
to wander around the casino and not hear the sound of coins pouring
into the tray at the bottom. I must be getting old or something.
