Big Grin Whenever we saw the "P-oh-lice" they had someone pulled over and that was very regularly, all they seemed to be doing was busting someone's chops! Mind you they didn't bust the drunk driver we followed on the freeway, worst I have seen since I saw a drunk driver loose it and slam into a power pole. How this guy on the freeway didn't kill himself is beyond me. I didn't know who I should call so we kind of watched and waited for them to hit a barrier but alas it wasn't to be. So we waited for the freeway to give us a few extra lanes to get around them so we could move on. With a little luck they made it somewhere without killing someone.

After LA we had a whirlwind visit to Vegas. I must say I liked Fremont St. where I managed to pick up a Pantera 1/18 Scale diecast from "The Toy Shack" and there was less hustle than on the strip. There were a few free bands playing and the drinks were cheaper too! Although I must say I was not a huge fan of Vegas, it is geared to take all your money (I'm not talking gambling either) and the vast majority of products and services offered can be found anywhere in the world and cheaper. However there are not many places you get to shoot a AK47 and that was an absolute blast. Wish I had a little more time there to really get a feel for it and maybe I would have a better opinion.

As fo NY so far we have really loved it. The people have been really friendly (I know it is not what you were expecting?). We even had a gentleman (his accent sounded local) ask if he could help us with directions when he saw us looking lost staring at a map. Even had another you woman give us directions and she actually didn't look too afraid. The taxi driver from the airport I didn't trust as far as I could throw him, I'm sure we went past the same Marriot hotel twice. But hey, that's something that can be said for taxi drivers where ever you may be. I do have one question about the squirels in Central Park. Do the locals think of them as ground pigeons? You know like pests? I kinda got that feeling because when we saw the first one we were like, awwwwwww and taking photos. By about the time we saw the 50th we were over it. Confused And why do the drivers need to honk their horns? You can see the thousand cars in front of you, honking your goddam horn aint gonna make em move any faster!

Ha ha it appears you had a real true American experience, as everything you said is right on.
