back to the shaky side

It seems a problem to get text & pics coordinated, so here goes another attempt.....The sunset pic is the one that didn't make it onto the last post, taken at the great resort in Pahrump, NV. The 2nd I will soon explain.
Our Las Vegas segment was a good one. We got together with Lancaster buddy Dave Conner, who flew into town during our time there. It was great catching up on Pa. stuff, as well as having a touch of home. We experienced all the glitz & glitter of Sin City, even coming away with the enormous sum of $23 taken from a nickel slot machine. It seems we didn't profit from things overall as we spent 3 times that amount on a trailer repair. Message received, God..... We did see some cool shows, one a variety type, and one hypnosis show. It was pretty funny, but now I cluck like a chicken whenever a siren goe off!
We headed south from there, stopping at a NV/CAL border casino parking lot for the nite. While there, we spotted a poster announcing a Bonnie & Clyde exhibit, hence the 2nd picture here. It was the "death" car, in which the bank-robbing/murdering duo was surprised by the law and after ignoring the order to halt, were blasted into the next world. There were 167 bullet holes in the car itself, many of which pierced their bodies. That pretty much stopped their crime spree. There were also some add'l photos and memorabilia on display that really enhanced the display On the way back east, we aim ( no pun intended ) to find the Loiusiana road where the actual ambush took place. The subject always fascinated me, and Joan also finds the story interesting.
We then headed for Palm Springs, where we stayed at an excellent RV resort as guests whom they hoped would buy a lot from them. But, we've finally figured out how to say no, after a few timeshare presentations that cost us dearly. Anyway, we're now staying with good friends here in the desert whom we met during the short time we lived here back in '78/79. We'll soon go into LA for a Thanksgiving visit with my brother Vince and his family. Sister Donna will be flying in as well, so we're really looking forward to that get-together.
We're soaking up as much sunshine as we can handle, and don't yet miss any of the east coast weather, especially the oncoming winter stuff. We'll update soon !
