things i like about living in this unique city:

1. the huge shadowy mountains on the horizon

2. the odd people who live here

3. the libertarian zeitgeist

4. getting dressed up to play video poker in the crowded casinos on the strip

5. playing blackjack in off-the-strip casinos

6. the women who grocery shop dressed in ass-less chaps and high heels (pushing a cart filled with young children)

Oh longing for places that were not
Cherished enough in that fleeting hour
How I long to make good from far
The forgotten gesture, the additional act.
-Rilke

A la porte de la maison qui viendra frapper?
Une porte ouverte on entre
Une porte fermee un antre
