Just got back from Las Vegas and had to catch up on the blogs. Here are some of my observations, like em or not...
Las Vegas had 85 degree weather and the sun shown the whole 5 days I was there.
Observation: If God was to give the world an enema, Peoria is where he'd stick the hose.
Google was black today. I suppose because of the "Turn off the Lights" for the Global Warming folks tonight at 8pm.
Observation: Don't do it here in Peoria. Everyone would think everyone else had left.
HOPC. If you read CJ's Blog then you know what the HOPC is and all the dribble about the land development code.
Observation: No one really gives a rats ass about conforming to a land development code except the HOPC members. Just ask anyone on the street, no one has heard of it. Get over it.
The Peoria Journal Star is still in business and hasn't burnt down or nothing.
Observation: If it had Billy Dennis would still diss the place but if they offered him a job, he'd run to it, on fire or not.
Peoria.com Forums are wonderful.
Observation: Yeah if you like to read a post like; "I saw a bird today and it had wings!" There's 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back.
Wal-mart on University is rejected for a liquor license by our City Council.
Observation: No wonder the 2 people I met in Las Vegas that knew of Peoria said; "Oh Big Al's!" They know us for our strippers but no beer with those double A batteries.
Had to do some light shopping when I got home Friday.
Observation: It was good to be stopped at every fucking traffic light on University. Missed that in Vegas. They actually had traffic patterns and lights were timed.
Saw the Hoover Dam while in Las Vegas. It was huge and what a drop down to the Colorado River. People would toss coins over the side and wish.
Observation: Made me home sick. I thought of that big hole downtown on the old Sears lot. Our City/County government is going to toss our money into that hole too.
Read THIS and thought; "What a novel idea!" Garbage cans with lids being enforced except in "plush areas" apparently.
Observation: Come to the south end. Garbage cans with lids? We don't need no stinking lids. Hell, our rats have gold chains. Code Enforcement? What's Code Enforcement? Hell I can't get a pizza delivered to my address let alone a letter from code enforcement.
These are just my observations. If I offended, it was intended. Like I posted before, when the weather finally gives us a break here, I'll get serious.

Hope you had fun in Vegas. Glad to have you back!
Thank you EB. Yes, it was terrible to hit the pool in the afternoon, then while the moon was out, hit the spa and look at the palm trees.
Randy:
If the PJS offered me a job I'd take it ... provided I could still diss them then I thought appropriate.
But that ain't gonna happen.
Billy: The only reason I through those little barbs at you is to make sure you read this once in awhile. :)
Keep on truckin'. Vegas rocks. Been there dozens of times. Love it. Favorite hotel is the Circus Circus for the sheer silliness of it.
Indeed Vegas does rock! Although 5 straight days almost killed me.
Billy: Christ I meant "THROW" and not "through" . Vegas does that to ya and so does MS spell check.
Last time I went, I couldn't get the ding ding ding ding of the slot machines out of my mind for a week or so. But I do love the city of sin. Like I said, I love Circus Circus but the Monte Carlo and Caesar's, of course, are great places.
It's fun. I say I have $500 to lose for a weekend and refuse to spend more than that. Good times. Ever been to the Grand Canyon from there. Wild Helicopter ride.
LOL. Peoria.com forums. What a joke. Topics like 'if you could make your farts smell good, what scent would you choose?' reminds me of 6th grade over there.
Vegas it a cool place...if you don't mind a bunch of drunk a-holes. I think they should change there slogan to.."Vegas, a place where you can come to be a drunk annoying a-hole."
I can only stand the place for two days...max!
