YAHOO!

I don't know why I said that.

Oh, I forgot to tell you all. I was braging to Steve that my GPS brings me to the parking garage enterances when I tell it I want to go to a casino. Well, turns out at the yuppie casinos, it brings you to valet parking. So, I pretended like I was a taxi for a long time.

Uh... Let's see. OH! Tomorrow is Saturday. That's why I said, "Yahoo!" I still don't know what I'm going to do, but I did hear of the historic Las Vegas strip. I think it's now inside a building, but it's supposed to have the world's largest LED TV screen.

Today was a little slow. As I mentioned earlier, about half the electricians were there working overtime today. Usually, they work four, ten hour days. Right now, they're working five, ten hour days so they can boost their incomes.

It's kind of odd working at a place like this. The electricians are all paid by the hour, not the job. That means that if there's not enough time to start the next job, they have to stay there basically doing nothing until their hours are up. Well, there really wasn't much to do today, so I got to see all the ways people can stretch tasks out to interminable lengths. It was so ridiculous that they were even joking about it. Instead of singing things like "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go," even the foreman was watching the clock.

That did mean I got to take some more tours today. One of the things we did was drive up to the warehouse. There's actually a road that goes all the way down to the transformer deck at the bottom of the dam. It looks totally inaccessable by road, but there's a rather lengthy tunnel in the canyon wall that brings vehicles to a more accessable place.

Along the road to the tunnel are all sorts of odd things left over from when they built the dam. There are all sorts of structures that look like they were used for climbing down the canyon wall, a tunnel where they supposedly train tigers, and even some old bunkers they built during WWII.
