Style update

It seems blogger has finally added some better customization features.  I've modified the blog format to test out some of the new options.  If you are interested, they are available from the blog dashboard in "blogger in draft".

Hoover Dam

We were forced to drive the across I-40 instead of the originally planned I-70 route to get to Las Vegas.  The detour was mainly caused by a snow storm that hit the night before we planned to leave.  We later learned that I-70 was closed due to an avalanche that buried the road in about 15 feet of snow.  Because of the detour, we drove through Flaggstaff, AZ and ended up crossing the Hoover Dam to get to Vegas.  This is the view of the dam from the east side before we crossed.  We got a good view of the new bridge begin built as well.  Should be fun once it's finished!

What's in a name....

Apparently the ability to e-mail photos with text is not working correctly...

This photo was taken while in Las Vegas last month.  I was wondering through the new mall next to the Aria hotel.  The mall is full of expensive stores with odd names... this one took the grand prize though.

Winner winner.. MORE SOYJOY dinner

Somehow Soy Joy felt the need to ship another case of 12 boxes of soy joy bars to us. So, see post from Oct with the pile of boxes... we have another pile. Goody!

Since it's been several months since there have been any posts, I guess it's time to play catch up... I have some funny images that I need to post from a recent trip to Las Vegas.

In other news, I finally set up a new home server... maybe I'll share the info on that as time progresses. For now, a few images are on the way.

Hours of operation

We stopped by the dinosaur resource center in Woodland Park. This
somewhat complex sign was posted describing the hours. Apparently they
felt the need to separate the hours by many possible options.

Man cutting the cheese at Costco

We were walking through costco and saw this guy. He wasn't being very
discrete.

Winner winner soyjoy dinner

As an incentive at the pediatrics conference that Athena attended,
soyjoy offered to send some samples if she signed up online. When we
got home, this is what was waiting.... Two cases of each flavor.
Basically 144 bars. That's a lotta soy :)

Some yummy looking pudding

I noticed this at king soopers one day. It really looked like pepto
bismal to me. I've noticed it a few more times since then and it
doesn't look like anyone has bought any. Gee, I wonder why.

The first snow

I hear it's 80 degrees on the east coast. It is supposed to be 50 in
Colorado today and might not make it above freezing tomorrow. Yippie.

Another giant pancake!!

I think pancakes are just bigger in Colorado. I had breakfast at "the
egg and I" yesterday and this is what they brought. The pancake was s
big as the plate. I managed to eat about half of the pancake and
everything else.
