hello, my name is wp and i just moved to a hotel room in las vegas. right now i am at a printing shop because they have computers i can use until my new laptop gets here. every day i go outside and dig holes around utility poles. then i drill holes in the poles with a chainsaw that has a drill on it. then i put chemicals and stuff in the holes, and type stuff into a computer that looks like a great big walkie-talkie. I have made a couple new friends, who help me dig the holes and put the chemicals in the poles, but we don't talk too much because i'm not done learning how to speak spanish. I have another friend that speaks both english and spanish, and he shows me how to run the computer.

sometimes i go out at night and put money in these machines they have everywhere. sometimes i get money back, and sometimes these fat ladies in tight outfits bring me free drinks. It's not too scary, except when i saw this big billboard advertising "Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden." I also saw a movie called the Royal Tennenbaums. It was good. I wish they had dogfights around here.

well, i have to go now. the meter is running. hopefully i will have a new computer in a week, and then i won't have to hang out around these shady printshops.

love, wp.

You've made it into the land of legalized prostitution! Whoohoo!

Just say stuff to your new friends like, "Oye como va," and "Volare" and you'll be fine.

Anyhow, good to hear you're doing well.

I must say that i am really enjoying the whole working outdoors thing quite a bit.

I must also say that i like the fact that many restaurants in this town offer prime rib dinners with alcoholic drinks for the price of a fast food Extra Value Meal.

But i must concede that this town has no town, as far as i can tell. It's like some big strip-mall amusement park thing.

Pole surveying in Las Vegas sounds like a cheeky cover for working in the porn industry. C'mon WP, your planting your pole in Sylvia Saint with the help of a couple of Mexican extras, aren't you?

that sounds like a fun job. a guy i know is contracted by BC hydro (power company) to climb trees. how fucking sweet would it be to climb trees for a living?
i talk on the phone. it's okay, but it's not climbing trees.
