The Las Vegas Strip As a Treadmill
There’s almost nothing as mind-numbing and seemingly time-wasting as hitting the gym in your complex to go play hamster-on-a-wheel for an hour trying to burn a few extra calories, not to me at least. My brain has a marvelous way of getting hyper-bored in blazingly fast fashion and the distractions seem limitless. I think about everything I haven’t done that day, what’s on television, where I’d rather be, who I’d rather be with, and, probably what I want for dinner.

The delay on the story, which I originally heard the next day, was because I had to get a few details verified before I published the article and wanted to make sure I had the story straight. Mister N is a good friend of mine and he had no reason to make the story up and I’ve never had a reason to doubt him… It sounds a bit fantastical and some of you will question it, even as I am still curious about precisely how they pulled it off, but suffice it to say that I believe it to be true and the truth is usually more entertaining than something you can make up…
