Like I said, come on over.

Elko is known as the Venice of Elko County. It's also home to some of the dumbest Idaho and Utah blackjack players I've ever seen. "Hey, the dealer is showing a 6, and...

If you look you can make out his right leg on the top tube and the left knee out. And back on the grassy knoll there's a guy with what appears to be an M1.

If you've ridden a bike, you've probably countersteered. You may have apex'd a corner, though it's hard to say for sure.
