there was 4 stops - I think on the 50 mile route last year and there was so much food it was funny.
Yeah - lots of different typse of sports drinks, apples, oranges, bananas, power bars, odwalla bars, and usually a tent with a mechanic at each rest stop as well. :cool:

Wooo-hooo!

My wife just called and said she got a job teaching 6th grade science for next school year!:thumb:

It only took 3 extra years of school and she will make less than at her previous job, but now she gets to enlighten young minds with the wonders of science. I am so frikkin' excited we will have a second income next year that I had to tell somebody. Thanks.

Thanks. The district is great. We live in a university town, so education is well supported. The school she will be at has the lowest-SES students, so it will still be challenging. Didn't your GF struggle a bit in her first year (was it this year?). Did she work everything out?

She still struggling and still hates it.... not sure what else to say. She works with a tough bunch.

Bummer man, hopefully it will improve. My wife has assured me that she put in at least 5 years before changing careers (again) even if it sucks. I think she knows what she is getting into though.

We had some rough times in our meeting today, too. Looks like I am going to Vegas quarterly for the next couple of years because of it. I have never been, but will soon be a regular it looks like.

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I?m just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas

Viva las vegas with your neon lights a flashin'
And your one armbandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain
Viva las vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again

I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with every shot
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,
Viva, viva las vegas
