OK, all you FredCon and other twisted folk, the Vegas/FredCon/Hoover Dam photos are up. They're on Flickr, in a Collection with three sets. Because that made it easier for you to see them.

A mere 385 photographs, I might add, between Herself and I. Well, mostly I. *G*

There will be more sorting to do; I plan on breaking them out into a few more sets as related (either by day, or event, or such). And they still need commenting and captions and such.

We arrived alive back at the Ranch at Wee Oh Dark Hundred this morning; staggered out of the rental, made a warm but brief hello to all the Border Collies, threw some food at the Kitnz of Apocalypse et al (out of sheer survival mode), and fell into bed.

Plop.

It wonderful! Well, people wonderful. Vegas fun. Will probably "Do Vegas" again some day, there's more to see. But this Rancher is glad to be back at the Ranch.

Definitely people wonderful. Meeting folks one's gotten to know through corresponance is a gas. How close does the 'voice in my head' for what they sound like match the Voice coming out of their mouths? Now, that's purely a sound thing, because all of the folk I've met first via corresponance (like, here on LJ) match the 'Voice' as written. Which is to say, people pretty much are people, and while there are the nasties about it's a Good Bet that they'll be like they are here on LJ when one meets them face to face.

Dredd Phredd Ot-tar quickly discovered that Vegas is a place that never sleeps... just passes out now and then. Saturday and Sunday nights he was out all night, got back to the hotel room about the time we woke up. Monday morning he showed up wearing a cowboy hat with an extraordinarily pleased look on his drunken face.

I don't want to know.

Another brief update (got to start getting ready to leave)...

Great dinner Sunday night. Italian, home style meaning the portions are such everyone shares around. Yum. And easy to find (or seemed to be easy to find to me) things for GF and allergy problems.

All the Ot-tarz gathered at Miracle Mile to commune with the Buddha. Much chanting of "Rub de Buddha, Rub de Buddha" echoed though the halls. Traffic flow became a problem.

Fountains show at the Belagio... hopefully I spelled that right.

It seems we are destined not to have coffee in our room here. Three non-functional coffeemakers. Well, today we're Out, so it's off to breakfast for coffee.

Been moving way to much to geek out much, but right now it's a GeekSiesta in [livejournal.com profile] wedschilde's room. So a quick summary posting of Our FredCon:

Friday: Arrive alive! Rush hour in Vegas sux rotten eggs. Blue Man Group is AWESOME! More later.

Saturday: More time at the Venetian, then to Madame Tousade's ([livejournal.com profile] popperaussie is an attention whore), then other places. Dinner at Todai, Ot-tarz totally disrupt the sushi bar. More later. Fremont Street Experience is AWESOME. Film At Eleven.

Sunday: [livejournal.com profile] zompus, [livejournal.com profile] singingnettle and Ourselves load up and truck over to Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam is AWESOME. However, the Establishment enforces a strick No Pets policy, and decrees Ot-tarz are Petz. Little do they know... More later.

Yah, I know, it's a quick summary. Film At Eleven.

Hippo Birdies go out to [livejournal.com profile] tawneelynne! May it be a year of healing art, art, and healing.

Second leg complete, i.e. we're now at the Tampa International Airport. Ranch sitter person called while we were starting security check, called back when we cleared. One of Next Door Neighbors young cows came to visit. Told her it's OK, Neighbor will either come get her or she'll go home on her own. Social young thing she is, comes to visit every so often.

Free WiFi at Tampa. So another check before we go. Hotlanta won't have free wireless, making next check in after arrival.

First Leg

First leg of the trip to Fred Con is complete. This message comes to you from high atop the Marriott Courtyard Tampa Florida. Was going to crash with [livejournal.com profile] fatfred et al this evening, but Herself had Levy County Fair Associaiton business which delayed our departure, and I called ahead and told them to go to bed, don't wait up for us. They've a much earlier departure flight than we do.

Good drive down, wet for 1/3 of it, and a spectacular light show. Though Houdini wouldn't of liked it.

Today is Friday for me at Hospital. Unfortunately, this does not mean lots of BossStaysHomeDays with Houdini. But it's good. Due to some confusion in reading recently, I shall clarify a wee bit.

Recent post regarding 9/11 involved a trip in the past.

This coming 'BossStaysHomeDays' which is not stay home days is a trip to start tomorrow. Off to Las Vegas and Fred Con. If you've got questions about that, feel free to ask. Probably I'll get around to answering. You may not like the answers. That's OK. It's all silliness and fun. At least for me.

Meanwhile, I am waiting for some things to finish up here at Hospital before departing.
