No ID, no Sin.

This weekend I decided to meet my girls in Vegas. We got a great rate on a room and it was a great halfway point between Fresno and Phoenix. So Friday after work I got home, changed, and grabbed the bag I had packed the night before. I had filled up with gas the night before so I was on the road and out of town in no time. After about 4 hours of driving I stopped in Baker, Nevada about 80 miles from Las Vegas. I was in need of gas because I was almost out and wanted a quick bite to eat. I got off at the baker exit and passed a road to go to death valley, a little trailer park, a restaurant that had a flying saucer stuck in, and the worlds largest thermometer before getting to the gas station. This was a town you would never want to get stuck in because it looked pretty creepy. I figured I would be in and out until I reached in my back pocket to get out my card and pay for my gas. I discovered no wallet! Yes I left my wallet at home 4 hours behind me. I'm in a scary ass town, with no gas, no money, and still 80 miles from Vegas.

So I called the wife and told her she might need to come to me from Vegas but she was 2 hours from getting to me. So I decided to be the crazy guy at the gas station trying to sell CD's with a good story that nobody believed. I finally got the cashier to believe me and sold him $180 in CD's for $15. It was enough for me to get 4 gallons of gas in this one hours town but that was enough to get me to the hotel. I figured it wasn't a major loss since I had them all on my Ipod.

In the end I had a great weekend with my girls but when you have no ID in Vegas you can't gamble, drink, or Sin. So I had very non-sin weekend in sin-city.
