"Y'see, if you unbend a paper clip like this, then you just wait until a guy goes to sleep, and then you push it through his ear into his skull, and he'll never wake up again....naah, I'm just messing with ya."

Oil Well



























I'm telling Richard that this is a picture I took of one of the oil wells on CA-99, but it's not. We didn't see a single oil well on CA-99. I think Richard might have been thinking of the wells that you see on 101 near Bradley, which we drove past this afternoon. But I missed the turn-off at Alvarado, so I didn't photograph any of them. This is a photo that I ganked off this page. Don't tell Richard, okay?

Hey, don't you love those magnetic stripe key cards? Quite often, they work. And when they don't, you can always use a side table from the lido deck to help you get up to the railing so you can hoist yourself onto the balcony and break into your own room.
