I last visited Vegas in February 2013 after marrying Judith after 16 years together. Her cousin worked at the Bellagio. We stayed at the Paris Hotel. I had previously visited Vegas when the law firm I worked with took us there for two days in August of '92. We were put up at Excalibur. Amusingly Soldier of Fortune had a convention in Vegas at same time as did some Evangelical churches. I could never live in heat. Sacramento I left at 30 due to heat.

They will succeed with the terminally frightened and have a struggle on their hands with everyone else.

Many places in America are ruled by the fearful, masked, unfit looking people - grocery stores, malls, medical facilities. Many neighborhoods are shuttered, deathly quiet.

At the parks and natural areas people are happy to be outdoors and pleased to be exercising, seeking out company.

Interesting times. At least the two groups are eminently recognizable without uniforms.
