The highway department, in it's wisdom, ordains some of the shoulder as a bike lane. However for some reason, out in the middle of nowhere, we have a sign "Bike Lane Ends". Ok, maybe it's an inch too narrow or some crap but how the devil is a biker supposed to get home? Who knows.
Later on, close to Vegas, I came upon a biker riding ON the white line. Now, that's just stupid! I give bikes a lot of room; will move into the other lane if traffic permits, but to ride ON the line is just cruising for an accident. Lots of people don't move over and will even crowd a bike. Pushing it when you are on the bike is stupid.
The speed limit when we come into the Las Vegas suburb of Summerlin is 50 mph (80kph) and I generally keep to it. I was within a mile of the city limit and someone who has been following me for at least 5 minutes decides they just can't stand it any more and zooms around me. Of course, I caught them at the first stop light. What were they thinking? If they pass when you've got 10 more minutes in your drive, ok. They might get through that first light but when you've got a minute before you hit the city streets? Who knows!
Finally I was ready to come home. Remember I showed a photo of someone who is building a Catholic mission here in the valley? Here's the other side of the coin.
Well, that was my trip. Hope you enjoyed the random thoughts. Have a good one.

Is he the guy building a new one with space aliens theme, so that you can select a green woman or . . . ?
We depend on you for our research now.
Yes, Mr. Hof is the guy. But don't nominate me for the role of Professor of Hookers, it isn't my subject I just read the newspaper.
