My adventures with a variety of weasels

I went to Laughlin, NV with my family this weekend but sans children. It was a lovely time away from Bank of No Forks and I didn’t have to yell at anyone for four whole days.

The first day we got there and this is who I met. I named her Petunia and she was only about ten feet away when I took this picture. I saw Petunia again and again as well as her friends over the several days were in Laughlin. Everyone of them was unfailingly polite. I also saw an adorable raccoon. I wasn’t quick enough to get his picture but he was a sprightly thing who wandered across our sidewalk on the way to the river to do some fishing.

I had no idea when I got to Nevada I was going to find new pets.

On Saturday My Honey and I drove up to Las Vegas because, lets face it, there’s not much to entertain in Laughlin besides skunks. We saw Love by Cirque de Soleil at the last-minute so we got excellent pricing for our tickets. What a cool show, and we knew all the words to all the songs. We had dinner at Gordon Ramsay’s Pub & Grill and it was wonderful.

We had a really great time with the exception of the most obnoxious fans in the world. We were stupidly there on a fight night – Mayweather vs Canelo. There were 90 million people in the streets all wearing sombreros and chanting and generally annoying everyone. We got out-of-town before their guy lost, but we’re betting it was a great deal quieter.

The best thing though was we were walking around with our version of Flat Stanley, Flat Bandit. We got his picture taken with some Minions, two different M&Ms, the red and the green. Also, we found a zombie who put his flat little head in his mouth. We got two perfectly nice showgirls to pose with him.

Las Vegas has everything in the world to amuse and entertain – except skunks. Didn’t see a one.
