I think I have heard every possible news story there is to have but the US keeps finding the bizzarre. Last night the main over the top news item was from a young mother who put her baby on craig’s list. A kind of international freecycle site. Saying that if no one picked the baby up her boyfriend was going to put it in the garbage. Suffice to say the police have been search all the garbage cans around the area from which the IP address originated, as well as the address the poster gave as the collection address. Hopefully it is just a wind up, but only in america, surely!
There was also a great news item on how traumatised a family were after they saw a circus performer mauled half to death by a lion. Interestingly they weren’t that traumatised that they stopped filming the event, and subsiquently sold the film to the news networks.
Other than that i have been reading, doing my tax return and trying to do a little preparation for my new job that starts in under a week now. I did also find the two nices places so far in vegas for food. Breakfast is the Pancake House on Chalston, and for dinner the Thai Restarant between the Sahara and the Stratosphere, which is so small you can miss it as you walk past. Only a few more days until i have to hit the road and work my way back to LA. In preparation I have brought myself as spainish phrase book.
