So Scarlett and I were taking advantage of a tremendous vista out through the Heads to the Pacific Ocean on Saturday (actually, given I stopped the car, Scarlett had to get out, not her choice to look at the view at all!) and I took a picture of her…. See if you can spot the other fella int he shot!
After getting back from Vegas on Monday, it’s been a fairly busy few days. Geting ramped back up after Christmas is hard enough without having to leave the country after one day of work! Last year I didn’t leave until the 28th! Good to remember just how good it is being home – happy not to travel for several months if at all possible Mr Gates!
The weather hasn’t helped, it was 40c on Wednesday and 43c on Thursday! Ouch, worse still it was no lower that 30c over night Wednesday, which Ivy wasn’t all that chuffed with! Cooler now so we’re looking forward to a nice family weekend.
Glad to be back in Sydney after a few days in Vegas.
I think this picture from the Domestic terminal @ McCarran airport sums it up, like normal life, but with a bit of a twist at every turn. Oddly, having such a large amount of gambling machines at the far end of a departure terminal doesn’t seem odd when you’ve spent the past few days in Vegas!
Evenings in Vegas are the most spectacular, it’s clearly a nocturnal town, everyone knows that, but it’s easy to forget just how much it comes alive after dark.
7/10th scale versions of the world’s architectural masterpieces are dotted around, bright lit for maximum impact and housing restaurants, casinos or retail stores; or escalators that take you to casinos or retail stores; none of the marvels on display were built out of love of course, or as upright stone demigods to keep the people in awe, each an every one serves a single purpose, aesthetic one-upmanship designed to draw in the weak and the vulnerable!
The hotels are pretty magnificent too…
In no hurry to go back, one trip every five reach is about right!
