hitchhiking story

"Hope you don't have any twins living at home, pal," he said as he unlocked the passenger door. "This truck only travels at relativistic speeds."

I hopped in and said, "As long as you get me to Reno, i don't care how much mass i gain."

He put the truck in gear, then he said, "OK, we're here. Get out and good luck."

The casinos had been closed for twenty years, the Mormons told me.

I'm minded of that guy who took his kids and three (!) of his atomic clocks to the top of a mountain, and was able to demonstrate the relativistic effects of gravity. Said it was the best 22 nanoseconds he'd ever spent with his kids.

Sure, that's what the Mormons want you to believe. That way they still get all the girls.

Just be sure you stay off State Route 89 (http://www.interrobangcartel.com/forums/kareha.pl/1170255284/l50).

It's sad to travel somewhere and find out that the whole town is Desereted.
