Sonny, Becky and I cleaned out the condo’s garage.
Grabbed an old couch, and some other things and went to the Dump. The line took over an hour. We dumped the stuff inside building. At night, a crew comes along with bulldozers, picks the junk up and dumps it into a hole. Inside the hole is a large towable dumpster. A truck then tows the dumpster 40 miles north of town where it finally gets dumped. Then it gets plowed over with dirt by an enormous bulldozer.
The interesting part about this process is what happened to Las Vegas's previous dump.
It too was built way outside of Vegas. But now, however, it is prime property. The county put dirt over the biohazardous waste, trash and refuse. $500,000 homes have been built on top of the dump. Amazing isn't it. The homeowners may never know why it smells like death at times.
We ate at Chapala's tonight, Sonny's treat.
Their food is always GREAT! The spanish speaking waiter told us Caliente meant HOT. He said Nevada means Snow Country.
That means Caliente, Nevada means HOT SNOW COUNTRY. hmmm...
Las Vegas means The Meadows. Guess thats why the largest mall in the state is called The Meadows Mall. Its kind of an inside secret I guess.
Robert came over tonight.
I loaned him $85. He's good for it. Now, as far as that story about them sending the check in, and someone stole it and cashed it, and the bank can't produce a copy of the check before they get evicted, and they bank won't reimburse the money from the check, and the owners already have renters coming in on the 4th...well, that all sounds like huey to me...lol
