thank you random uxepected “luxury Inn” for letting me leech off your wifi
We decided to stick around Denver last night and play internet poker and watch tv. My job being watching the tv, and Andy’s, playing internet poker. Right now, we’re five hours outside of Denver parked at a small rustic strip mall. It’s wood shingled with a Farm Bureau Insurance and Los Jilbertos taco shop. I’m looking across the highway at a red dirt and green grass mountain spotted with pine trees. Andy’s in back of the Eurovan betting the games. This American Life is on the XM. It’s a sad story about a restaurant opened in the memory of a son/friend/brother who was accidentally shot when he was 16.
When we were in Kansas we bought a wifi seeker. It’s a key chain sized thing that lights up and tells you when you when you’re in contact with a wireless signal. It’s marketed as a device to use in airports to find the strongest signal, but we all know the deal. Los Jilbertos and the Farm Bureau Insurance Co. do not have wifi, so Andy has dialed in on his cell phone.
It’s fun driving around in the passenger seat scanning neighborhoods and announcing “one bar…two bars….one….no two”, with Andy taking mad turns and sudden stops to triangulate on the signal.
We went through a minor snow storm in the mountains.

Utah is big.
We’re stopping in Mesquite to drink, gamble and take a shower. We’ll be back in Vegas tomorrow.
