Your Roving Correspondent
Here today, coming to you live from Reno, NV where it's green, cool, and lovely.
Shmee, the boy and I are here visiting the folks. They live right underneath Mt. Rose, over which is Lake Tahoe, so yesterday we piled in the car and went for a drive to see the lake. It's absolutely beautiful up there. Shmee took some great pictures that I'll post when I get home. We continued on into the California side and around to Truckee,which is a nice touristy artsy little town right by Donner Pass.
We walked around a bit, and found a sweet shop where you get to watch the guy in the window make fudge. I'm not sure if the guy enjoyed his job, but I'm pretty sure he didn't like doing it in front of an audience. Apparently it's quite hard work. It's all poured onto this big greased metal table, and he had to keep it moving while it sets. He was breathing pretty hard, and I can only hope he wasn't sweating too much into the fudge.
Today, my parents are taking Robb to Circus Circus to win ungodly amounts of stuffed animals, and Eli and I are going to go walking around downtown Reno. I really like it down there, it's very pretty and quaint, and the Truckee River runs right through it. I wouldn't mind living up here at all, in a nice little apartment house overlooking the river.
I'll let you know tomorrow if I move here or get married in the casino.

Oh how I miss driving through Truckee in my search of Tahoe Tessie. I never found her...apparently she doesn't exist.
Wow Kav, thats so interesting. Apparently no one knows that Tahoe Tessie is the Lake Tahoe equivalent of the Loch Ness Monster
I did not know that Tahoe Tessie was the Lake Tahoe equivalent of the Loch Ness Monster. I thought maybe she was a ghost or something.
I didn't answer because I didn't want to expose my shameful lack of knowledge, but there, you went and exposed me anyway.
How do you sleep at night, Kav?
