My grandkids and I frequent Circus Circus alot. I live on the southeast side, so it's a bit of drive to that area. I wouldn't want to live there, too much crime.

I hardly ever went out after dark, except when I worked nite shift at McDonald's. I heard sirens going off all the time, and pretended that they were ambulances. My co-workers insisted that they give me a ride home when we closed at 3am. They said they were concerned abt my safety even though I lived only a couple hundred yds from the place.

I didn't have to worry abt folks vandalizing my car at least. I had so lil' money that I could not even afford a car, and I had to take the bus to/from work. It seemed that I spent half of my existence waiting for buses to come and go. Now, I drive a new car and I can afford to live in my own condo. What diff'ce 20 yrs makes!

Still, as I've said b4, I really enjoyed my yr in Vegas...thx mostly to a great grp of friends and a wonderful church. Take care, God Bless,

Sometimes I woke up wondering where I was. LoL. Now, for the first time in a couple decades I'm settled. And now that I'm back in the States, guess which question I get the most?

"When are you coming here to visit?" I tell them that I ain't going nowhere for awhile. Murphy's Law, I reckon...

Take care, God Bless,

Phil from all over...
