We headed out to Las Vegas for the Con-Ag Expo. It's only held every three years so Michael made a management decision to go. Ethan and I went with him along with Russ, another Heavy Equipment contractor friend of Michael's. We left at 5am and pulled into Vegas at about 2pm. We stopped at the Bass Pro Shop on our way to Karen's house. They had the most impressive outdoor store I have EVER seen, WOW! They had taxidermied animals in realistic poses including a pride of lions, a cougar attacking a deer, a leopard, a family of bears trying to get into a camper. The walls were covered with mounted heads of every kind of horned type animal imaginable. I'm not opposed to hunting. But the scale of this display seemed over the top for me.
They also had an indoor waterfall with carp, ducks, turtles and a sturgeon. Ethan was impressed by the fish tank to be rivaled only by something from Monterey Bay Aquarium. I wondered how they could pay for such extravagance until I found that the other half of the store was a casino. Figures.
