Thanksgiving

It's not really a travel photo, but with Thanksgiving right around the corner, who can really resist pumpkin pie? :-)

One of the first things that struck me about Las Vegas, on my first trip there back in the 1990s, was the garish carpeting in all the casinos.

Apparently, I'm not the only one to have wondered about this. In fact, David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has devoted significant time to studying the psychological impact of this floor covering, as seen here: http://www.dieiscast.com/gallery/carpet-essay/

Anyway, I decided to do a little photoessay of my own, the last time we were in Vegas:

Not my greatest shot from my DC trip a few years ago, but a reminder for those few who do pass by the blog to get out and vote tomorrow no matter which side of the aisle you stand on.
