Things o' the Day from a crappy motel in Reno
Almost stayed at the Circus Circus -- there's a fantastic Sun-Thur rate -- but they don't allow pets in the rooms, only in kennels (who says, "Oh, let's take the animal with us on vacation and leave it in a cage with lots of strange animals"?). Maybe someday I can come back without the cat. Nah, never mind. The cat's the best part about this trip.
First thing: managed to successfully sneak my cat out of the hotel. Whew!
Strange Things of the Day:
Pretty much it for today, as I'm wicked tired. Nevada was a very long drive. Pretty, but kind of desolate. I wanted to go to the Thunder Mountain Monument, but by the time I got to Winnemucca I was already pretty exhausted and still had three hours to go. Maybe I'll come back sometime.

- Salt Lake City: smoggy.
- Salt Lake: astounding. Also smelly.
- Salt flats: bizarre.
Strange Things of the Day:
- Strange Thing The First: this. Pretty cool, actually.
- A van carrying, apparently, the Red Elvises ("Kick-Ass Rock n Roll from Siberia!")
- I didn't get a picture (my camera battery died, and my phone camera isn't powerful enough) but fortunately somebody else did (many other people, apparently): "Deeth Starr Valley"
