As we landed in Vegas yesterday I was totally struck by the fact that I can start in freezing cold farm land and four hours later be in the desert. Nothing says America to me like dramatic changes in topography, a city springing out of the middle of nothing and slot machines in the airport. I was a little disappointed to not be in Madison after election day where they, apparently, had spontaneous parties in the street. However, what better way to start the hope administration than with gambling, lots and lots of gambling.
