Sparks, Nevada


Not Reno, but close. Is that not always the way with gambling. Intermittent reward I heard it is called - the most compelling of all, stimulating a search for patterns, predictability, solid ground. I got it here at the quality inn last night, my first on the return trip. I'm opting for the straight shot this time, highway 80. Not so scenic they say, but so far I like it: Uhauls and brown hills sharing a frame. If the California stretch of 80 is any indication I believe I might be paralleling the route I took on the Southwest Chief crossing the country by Amtrak several years ago.
