I am back from Sin City. Yes I did spend some time in a few casinos and I did win a few bucks at the blackjack tables. But here are a few pictures of some of the other things I did. You'll have to excuse some of the poor photography of some of the images below. A little handheld digital camera can only capture so much.
Cleveland covered in snow.This was taken in February 2007.
The near no-hitter.I have some other pictures stuck on my camera phone.
Sunset over the Red Rock Canyon area.
Venus over the Red Rocks.
Climax.I am a physicist and a geek so it's not much of a surprise
that I went to the Atomic Testing Museum.
Hoover Dam.There are public restrooms on top of the dam itself.
Where does the water go when you flush?
Hoover Dam intake towers.
Hoover Dam Spillway
Hoover Dam Generator.
A bridge is currently being constructed just south of the Dam.It should alleviate traffic problems, but the view of Hoover Dam will not be the same.
After touring Hoover Dam, I drove over to the Lake Mead area. I was disappointed that I needed to pay to drive around the lake, and refused to pay the toll. It made me realize how fortunate NE Ohioans are to have a free national park in their backyard. Luckily I found a trail to run before entering the park. It was an old rail line. You can see one of the tunnels in the left of this picture. By the way, the ankle felt fine. So you are spared the gore; unless you want to see this again.
Boulder Basin.Part of Lake Mead.
Las Vegas City Lights from Red Rock Canyon.
The trip was a much needed break from work. But now I'm back and ready to go again. I'll try to post my thoughts on this past weekend. And as a teaser, it involves me and a brick workout!!!

Cool pics thou. You got to do some trail running. Pretty cool. Good to see your football injury is healing up.
Glad to hear you had a nice time on your much needed break to sin city.
Good to know that the ankle is doing well.
"Where does the water go when you flush?" You do know that we re-cycle the water in Singapore right? It is called NEWater, so we are kinda used to that concept. :)
Very cool pics!!! Glad you had time to enjoy a nice break from work and even manage to win some $$$!
