I am a few days behind in my Blog, but here goes.

We're checked into the Riviera for a change of pace.  The room we got is a handicapped accessible one that is serving it's purpose.  

I napped, hydrated, and had a few snacks (thanks to our stash of 99 cent store finds) while James made a few trips to the car for our belongings.  The pending storm in the Gulf was taking up interest on most of the channels.

Yesterday we found a decently quiet bank of dollar single line VP to play on as we ended up racking
up 10 K in points with minimal loss.  I did have to
contend with the odd button slapper and cellphone hog, but managed to stay composed.  In my mind I have created an utopian Casino void of stray children, people of a shallow gene pool, and unnecessary noise.  Ahhh

I'd like to point out some blatent descrimination
now that I'm temporarily wrapped up in this wheelchair.  Timeshare hounds don't blink an eye
when we go by!  Who is to say that I just have a
broken leg or something?  James and I made this
the topic of conversation during our late night meal
at Palace Station Grand Cafe.  Funny that we probably have way more money than the "suits" that they attempt to lure.  It provides us with a decent reprieve.

It is a shock to many who see me in the chair.  Some..."God Bless" me, while others give me accusatory glances.  Maybe I need a T-shirt explaining why I am in it?

Anyhow...this has been our longest trip yet and last night we discussed residency again.  James is so familiar with Vegas that he can drive anywhere and basically not get lost.  If and when we move here, we'll check closely with our friends on safe areas and probably rent to get a "feel" of things.  The weather is a huge draw for us.

Today we are off to Tuscany to play for Gift Cards and have lunch.  We have no free food at the Riviera and comps are very important especially
in the lengthy trips on one bankroll.  

I'm feeling pretty good and the VP along with sporatic reading, my eyes are not as bad.  Getting a treadmill for the house should get me on the right track so to speak.
