I posted this to the Linden blog response to the chat bug, though it hasn’t appeared there yet: First I would like to say thank you to LL for responding at last to this highly critical issue. While the carefully phrased corporate wording of the … Read More →

Shopping in Vegas
Shopping in Vegas Originally uploaded by Shards Of Blue We went to walk the Strip yesterday, but ended up spending all our time in two of the massive indoor malls there, the Fashion Show Mall and The Forum Shops mall. Fashion show was fun, but … Read More →
Vegas, Baby!
So, we’re at our Vegas hotel now. Driving around the neighborhood, I can only think of Fort Walton Beach on steroids – and without the beach. The Strip itself sits as an island of height among uninspiring shopping centers and cheap hotels. Little plaster buildings … Read More →

Busy Days in Vegas
Well, Vegas has proven to be a busy thing. Between in-processing on the base, house-hunting, job-searching, and getting to know my new Mac (not to mention that this has all been done in blistering 100* weather), I’ve been pretty pooped by the end of each … Read More →
