Pho

 You may not know but I have had pho several times before.  A close by restaurant is one that I frequent the most and invariably compare everything else to it.   What drew me to this place?  The green onion?  No, the block of beef

Bird in the moon

 There was a nice moon out on some random night.  I went to take a few pictures looking out towards the east as it rises.  Sure my lens was a bit dirty but the speck against the lunar backdrop looked more like something than just schmootz on the lens.  I zoomed into the pic and saw I caught a bird in flight.

Pinball and lobster in Las Vegas

 Did a quick trip to Las Vegas.  Theres not going to be alot of gambling or sex.  There will be alot of pinball and lobster.  What?  Did the title give it away?  Stayed at the Hilton at Resorts World.  Theres three hotels from the Hilton chain all in one place: Hilton, Crockfords, and Conrad

South Lake Tahoe part 2

 After a day out, time to head to my accommodations, take a look around, slumber then head home in the morning.  Walking along the border between 2 states.  The left side where gambling is legal and the right side where its technically not legal.  The mountains rising in the distance make up parts of Heavenly ski resort

South Lake Tahoe part 1

 With some free time on my hands, I took the drive up to Lake Tahoe for some R and R.  Theres a small vista point just after you crest Echo Summit.  You can peer down at Lake Tahoe airport as well as the casinos at the state border
