Not a lot of local personal histories here. The history of this town is fascinating, but not exactly something we can relate to. My favorite local story is about when the mobs were in charge here. No matter what they did elsewhere, there was a tacit understanding that nobody was murdered within Las Vegas. The bosses knew that the city depends on the tourist trade and the quickest way to drive away tourists is to make it obviously unsafe for them. Even Bugsy Siegel wasn’t killed here. He made the mistake of visiting his lady friend in LA and was shot at her apartment, after surviving in Vegas for several years with a price on his head.
Temperatures were below freezing this morning. There was ice on the sidewalk and gutters. It is supposed to snow here on New Year’s Day. Rare event for Las Vegas.
Good morning, Vagabonds.
