STILL HERE......

NOBODY HAS BLOGGED ALL WEEK, SO I THOUGHT I BETTER WRITE A QUICK NOTE BEFORE THE E-MAILS START COMING IN TO INQUIRE ABOUT OUR WELL BEING.

THE JANUARY WEATHER HERE HAS BEEN THE BEST.  WE HAVEN'T RUN THE FURNACE HALF AS MUCH AS OTHER YEARS.  IN FACT WE HAVEN'T EVEN PUT UP THE PLASTIC PANELS ON THE SCREEN DOOR TO MAKE IT INTO A STORM DOOR.

I WAS GOING TO BLOG ABOUT THE RECENT NEVADA GAMING NUMBERS IMPROVING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS, BUT AT LAKE TAHOE THE GAMING BUSINESS WAS DOWN 27% AND HERE IN LAUGHLIN IT WAS DOWN 5.5%.  SO DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ IN THE PAPERS.

I GUESS WHAT'S REALLY ON MY MIND IS THE DEVASTATION IN HAITI.  I'M THANKFUL TO HAVE A JOB, WARM WEATHER, AND TO NOT BE IN HAITI.
