I don't put them in danger, but when I see the plow coming, I tell my kids, "Run down to the end of the driveway and pretend you're shoveling." He usually gives them a wide berth so at least I don't have to shovel as much at the end of the driveway and can drive over what's in the street.
By the way, as we speak (or type as it were) Central NJ is starting to shut down.
Arby, I know it's not Vegas, but if your plans get cancelled, you could always drive inland and we'll play 5 Card Stud at my kitchen table and you can pay my 7 year old to put on a show for you.

Well, I'm back... I spent the morning on saturday worried that the plane would be cancelled. Thus, I would lose the money for the Celine Dion Concert to boot. After 2 hours delay and a multitude of de-icing fluid, we took off minutes before they cancelled all flights. Since it's the law to turn off the cell phone during air trips, apon arrival and turning it back on I got a voicemail from "Ticketmaster" informing me that Celine cancelled the show for that night herself . All I could do was laugh.

The wife and I took a trip to the "Grand Canyon". You would think that there would be some safety guardrails for the tourists on these tours to look over the side? Looking over the top of a 2000' drop without any type of barrier is pretty freakin' dangerous. Met some Native Americans (read "INDIANS") at lunch. MY wife bought some over priced bead jewelry from them....

WE must've tipped over $200 alone. Taxi cab drivers, Taxi Stand Hosts, Waiters, Waitresses, Airline baggage handlers, Tour Guides, Gondola drivers. You name it, we tipped them...

Gambling? I was up about $500 at one point. Lost that and $800 additional the last night while my Blackjack newbee wife made $1600 the last night.

Entertainment - Saw a Magic show at the Sahara which wasn't too bad. The next night we went to the "Tournament of Kings" (re: Bad Actors doing the bad Dinner Show eat with hands type crap while we watch jousting King Arthur rubbish) at the Excaliber. The wife loved that...

Oh, I almost forgot!!! Seems we were in Vegas during some major Rodeo Championship of the world type tournament. I have never seen so many cowboys in one place in my life. Yee Haw.

Well, will I go to Vegas again? You bet!!!
