Funny you mention the Vegas crime rate. The place I rent there just got broken into and my freind's wallet was stolen. Poor guy just moved from Colorado and is having a little trouble adjusting to the big dirty city.
So glad I'm able to be in California central coast majority of the time. Better everything. ...Of course I'm becoming a smug asshole who does wine tasting tours now - so there are drawbacks.
You and Kosar hang out at all? I actually want to visit that area some day.
Yeah I have met Kosar a few times and have drinks w/him now and again and shoot the sht about madjackers, he is a good guy, I know you guys have all met out in Vegas :mj07: it has been a weird adjustment for me here though, as I was living in an absolute DUMP and ended up living w/all black people (I'm not racist at all but the guy moved more ppl in than was expected, little kids from ex-girlfriend etc) and hit some rough patches.......It's all relative though, I grew up in the NYC suburbs and loved/love it when I went into the city and dont mind at all walking fast through a big city and watching my belongings, if you come from colo like your friend it is a big shock like you said, so many apartment complexes in vegas, here, phoenix-type places, houston are shanty towns and you really need to pay to get some quality, people dont realize that or cant afford it.....
I'm not one to go nuts about crime but I do follow the statistic-type things, and vegas seems to attract so many transient lowlifes, kind of like a lot of parts of fla and arizona, maybe b/c of the weather and relatively cheap cost of living, but there is a noticeable element of strange/sketcky people if you go to certain spots, and I've driven through bad neighborhoods elsewhere w/sunroof down and tom petty playing, I just dont pull over or stop ever :mj07: :mj07:
California to me is I dunno, I visited my friend in La Jolla 2 summers ago (he now lives on the east coast) but it is nice, just the people are weird to me out west, all relative........weathers great, good partying, just kind of weird mentality and not my kind of atmoisphere, and assenine cost of living and lot of yuppies, buit far worse places to be, LOL wine tasting tours are fun now and then, at least you dont live in Gay, I mean San....Francisco, I'd love to visit b/c its supposed to be gorgeous but the yuppies and wine tour stuff there must be nuts, anyway i've had a few beers and got on a rambling since i like talking about traveling it's one of my hobbies to learn about, but even though you got the nice weather come down here sometime in jan or feb one of these years although I will probably be out of here, you can see kosar's smiling, hard working mug :scared
