Only in Nevada..funnies

Only in Nevada did I find these gems...

Here's a good earthquake. Knocked out the top sensor for a few seconds. Feed from the University of Nevada, Reno.

Bridge to nowhere (literally, no road connecting the other sides of the bridge). Ok - funny - they are building this road along the side of the mountain range, directly over a fault line. If that's not silly enough, it's rated to withstand 60 MPH winds....but this area has gusts up to 95 MPH. Clearly a wise use of taxpayer funds. Only in Nevada.

They do have great car accoutremands.

Note to self: Never go into a restaurant if this is out front of it (Micasa Too ristorante = esta nasty). We did go in, stupidly, and felt like doing this on the way out. Their margaritas were like drinking straight tequila, with a touch of lime...which could have been ok, but not with cheap-o rail tequila. BURNS!

You can still carry a non-concealed weapon into bars in Nevada. This was a biker bar in Virginia City, NV. Cool place, but somehow I think mixing bikers, a lot of alcohol and guns is not the greatest idea. Hence the bucket of blood...

Interesting place across from the Bucket of Blood Saloon...I suppose the NV countryside might make you want to do this at times... The table is called this because it's said the former owners couldn't pay off a card game gambling debt or something like that in their saloon, so they each killed themselves on the felt. Then someone else did it a few years later. Good story, I'll tell it again sometime. I can't really remember the whole thing - go look it up yourselves. It's at the Delta Saloon in Virginia City, NV.
