Stumble It!
Vegas, baby, and rings.
Just back from a wet and wild weekend in Las Vegas with some of my favorite females for the bachelorette party of one very special lady. Here is the Nutgraf Report:
- MGM Signature Suites are… riddled with awesomeness. Beautiful suites, no casino in the hotel, gated driveway, pools that are a pleasure to lounge at, friendly and charming staff that hands you small complimentary bottles of water at all available times.
- Thunder From Down Under is… very funny. Very very funny. Some of it on purpose. For the love of all things holy, don’t click on that link. It crashed my browser.
- The MGM Grand Pool Complex is… revolting. The pools are totally full of people standing around in three feet of water holding beers. They don’t get out as often as one might wish under the circumstances. The lazy river is riddled with leering frat boys and the occasional startled-looking family.
- The Burger Bar is… pretty darn good.The dessert burger is a must have, whether you saved room or not. Some kind of chocolate patty in a bun that tastes like a Krispy Kreme donut, it’s tantalizing.
- Tao nightclub is… indescribable. Beautiful, but super crazy crowded, no seats if you don’t have bottle service, rigid rules about where you can stand, dance, security on high alert (for good reason, I’m sure), and the most atrocious bar line in captivity. On the other hand, I can’t blame them. The place is apparently one of the hottest things on the strip and they have to be strict if it’s not going to get dangerous. Our friend is a total planning genius and got us super rockstar treatment whereby we totally evaded the line of several hundred people and were presented with drink tickets.
Here is a fairly indicative photo from the trip. Not that we had blurry vision (long bar lines), but this pic is full of energy and golden light. It was a great trip.
Rings
Here’s the report: Nothing is new.
And here is a photo to illustrate this observation.

Hm. I would imagine that if they’re left in direct sun for this long with no noticeable degradation, then before they ever got the chance to photodegrade (if I correctly recall the term used before
,) they would be covered by dirt and dust and leaves that would prevent them from ever fully degrading.

You raise an interesting point, Matt, especially since I’ve been brushing the leaves off of the sun array every time I take a photo. Something I probably should have noted before.

I am starting to think the whole photodegredation thing is a manufacturer’s gimmick at best . . .
