This is a hand painted ceramic promotional bobble for our Atlantica slots; these slots can still be found in Tribal jurisdictions, but the Nevada Gaming Commission didn't like something about the awesome bonusing features, so they have been pulled in Nevada... Too bad, it's a great slot game! Katie gets it, but if she doesn't want it, I'll do some sort of contest (maybe who will buy me the most drinks at the Splash Bar?).

Here is the view from my Condo; 1-3 times a week a freight train slowly crawls by (no horn, thank goodness) - really pretty awesome to watch! I'll post pics of trains as I take them; so far I've madly tried to ready my camera as the train goes by.

U-haul was hell over the Sierras - almost dropped my SUV from the trailer, had to buy chains (but didn't need to put them on, even though there was pretty good snow-fall during the trip), got a flat tire on the trailer, just one big headache - NEVER AGAIN! If I ever get offered a better job elsewhere, I'm going to insist on FULL RELOCATION; professional packers, movers, unloaders etc...

Already installed slots into the Fitz, job is really going great! Tons of open space directly behind my condo - I'm really looking forward to running & biking the many trails. My coworker is a big fly-fisher; I'm already planning on buying a reel & rod!

Reno has a small-town feel, that I never experienced visiting the casinos as a tourist. This really is "God's Country", as they have a habit of saying up here.
