Ahh, so nice to be back in the northwest. a week and a half ago i ventured out driving with my 2 uncles driving down to tucson az. i went down ther for my g-mas 90th birthday/family reuniun. it was a fun week filled with eating lots of food, drinking my relatives booze and finding out some funny ass stories about my dad that cemented my beliefes of him being a pothead in his younger years. i was stoked on being in 80 degree weather for a week but seeing nothing but sand and cactuses all day was killing me. my parents who were gonig to fly but the flights were canceled ended up driving down. whats cool about that is that we stopped through Vegas on our way back. ive never been to vegas so it was pretty cool. 1st and foremost cool thing is that you can drink in public, awesome. we stayed at the new york new york which has a rollercoster going around the entire hotel on the roof. we spent the night doing nothing but walking up and down the strip, ate some food, drank some drinks and watching some free shows. end of the night tally for me...$20 down and gambling, $40 down on booze. now if i was in ashland $40 on booze would mean a heavy night of drinking. however when you pay $14 on a shot of whiskey and a bottle of bud light, your money doesn't last long so i guess im stoked i didn't spend more. the 14 hour drive back was saved by books on tape. my mom bought the cronicles of narnia on tape, awesome. capt. picard even read one book, but i haven't got to that one yet. we got up to prince caspian which is book #4 i believe, rad books. it was a long and fun filled week but i am so stoked to be back in non polution warning, traffic jam free, tree filled mountian town called ashland.
