Kathie and I got away last weekend for one night in Las Vegas. This was our first time to see the Bellagio fountains. They are too cool. Here is a shot of them with the Paris Eiffel Tower in the background. They play in time to music. Our favorite one was a Frank Sinatra song.
We also saw Pete Rose signing autographs at a store...maybe inside Caesar's Palace. It is not as cool as Kyle and Lyndsay seeing Harrison Ford and family at Disneyland, but at least I have a photo.
Yesterday, we made our annual trek to the Phoenix Scottish Highland Games. Here is a shot of a dude moving a telephone pole so there would be more room for the athletic events. The announcer called the "atheletic" games, but I am pretty sure that is not how you say it. Actually, the pole is called a caber, is around 12 feet long, and weighs 112 pounds. The dude has to throw it such that it turns end over end and is rated by how close it lands to 12 o'clock compared to where his body was when he launched it. I don't think this guy got it to flip, so he got no points for this throw.

I can only say that that was a very unfortunate angle for photographing the guy in the skirt. I'm just sayin' ...
