UncleBo Stuck In LasVegas

When my brother's marriage went South - He decided to live with his Aunt in Las Vegas for awhile. He found a job but gave all his money to the Casinos. He gave me a call and asked me to come get him. I lived in Ojai, California at the time. My siblings have been to Vegas more than I have thus I tend to be more conservative in gambling adventures.

I loaded my two boys into the car and off we went to Las Vegas. We spent the night in the Beautiful town of Barstow and made it to Vegas the next morning. When we found my brother, he suggested that we go to Circus Circus to get some freebies for the boys. Afterwards, we found a buffet - My brother kept asking "Do you want to go gamble?" Yeah Sure! He's broke and I don't want to follow his lead.

As we headed out of Vegas, My brother suggested that we stop at Whiskey Pete's so that the boys can see the "Bonnie and Clyde Death Car!" Oh what a thrill! An old car full of bullet holes. "This is your last chance to gamble," my brother advised me. " I would rather spend my money getting home versus giving it all to Whiskey Pete," I told my brother.

We finally dropped him off at another brother's house in Lancaster.

"Hey Mom, Uncle Bo sure wanted to spend your money," my older commented as we were heading back to Ojai.

Okay, Josh - I will give you a quarter for every tree that God has named in your honor. We were driving through a Joshua Tree Forest.

"There's One, There's One, There's One..........." my older commented.

Why don't we find a "Billy" Goat Farm? my younger remarked.

Send him to Indiana, we have lot of "Billy Goat Farms" here. The Amish near here are raising lots of goats and less cattle.
