Long beach

We had Chinese food for dinner one night at Caesars. It seemed like a good idea and it was only twelve or fourteen dollars per item. We ordered three items. But there are surcharges when you order it sent up to the room.

By the time they got all the surcharges tacked on, it was a hundred dollars. A hundred dollars for a Chinese food dinner. Guess I shouldn’t’ have had that eleven dollar bottle of beer; or Judy shouldn’t have had that eight dollar cup of coffee. It was damn good Chinese food though.

Still screwed up on time. We were up at five this morning for our last sunrise over the parking lot at Circus Circus. We watch the construction cranes high in the air and wonder where all the cable goes. For some of the functions there really isn’t much net change in the length of cable required, but when they drop the hook all the way to the ground the extra cable has to be coming from somewhere. There doesn’t seem to be any giant spool of cable anywhere though.

We beat the rush hour traffic out of Las Vegas, headed south. Stopped at the state line and topped off the tank at $4.20 per gallon. Over the state line in California it costs $4.50.

We were through the Los Angeles basin traffic and settled by noon, just before the Friday afternoon crush. We’re downtown at Golden Shores RV Park right across from the Queen Mary; about where Rainbow Pier used to be. Judy’s sister Sue lives in Belmont Shore about four miles away down Ocean Boulevard.
