Happy Post 4th of July!
We celebrated on Sunday at my brother and sister-in-law's new home; a "mansion" in Las Vegas with a pool (you can set the lighting for any occasion and raise the water temperature instantly) overlooking a golf course, remotes in every room to control the fans and lights, and a central sound-system that enables my brother to talk to my niece and her friends in any room and make sure they're not doing anything they aren't supposed to be doing. We frolicked until the monsoon came up, complete with lightning and high winds, and chased us all inside.
It was all fun and games (literally), and then the phone call came. From the manager at the campground in Utah. That monsoon I just mentioned ... hit the campground two hours away. With a vengeance. Turns out we were lucky. The wind completely shredded one of our awnings. Our outdoor carpet flew up the mountain. The skirt that created a functional storage area under the rig's overhang tore off and all the stuff underneath was overturned. But two sites down, a tree went through their RV's roof. In fact, trees went down all over the campground. Windows were broken. Heavy picnic tables went flying.
So, now we're dealing with repair people. Again. And we've only been "on the road" for a couple of weeks. But I still believe this will be a good life change. Really, I do. Really.
Meanwhile, duty calls at work, so here's a link to my latest gaming article. It's about a company who used "foursquare" technology on a street-level billboard to get animal-lovers to text in, thereby causing dog food to magically fall from the billboard to feed their pet. I thought it posed an interesting option for motivating people to visit a casino. Yeah, not all that crazy. Check it out!

Better to have a little wind up your skirt than a tree through your roof.
