(They were hilarious!) And took me cruising on the strip in the RS, once during the day, and once at night to see all the lights. I had a really good time, learned a lot, and made a new friend.

Thanks Linda for being such a great host and guide. It's good to know a local. You saved this non-gambler from what could have been another boring and lonely business trip, stuck in another dreary hotel room. And even though we spent a lot of time trading cat stories, I hope I provided enough of a diversion to keep your mind off of your loss, if only for a little while.

And for all of you old farts: I gave her a hug, and told her it was on behalf of all of you folks; Her friends that wanted to give her a hug, when you all knew she needed it. I hope it makes her smile.

She's a terrific lady. Oh yeah, and did I mention she makes her car look good!

Thanks Gary!!! Hugs for HotRodSally for sure.

I used to live in Vegas when I was a little bit younger. Used to ride my motorcycle up to Red Rock Canyon. Beautiful place. (And it's a lot cooler up there in the summer than it is in the city!). Glad you had a great time.
