    ROSE BOWL BOUND GO BUCKS

    Double Wow, I thought one of the two tops would lose and that would bump us to number 2, but I didn't think both would lose and put us at NUMBER 1. Nor did I ever think I would cheer for a team with the name Pittsburgh in it.

    Las Vegas

    One more thing wherever you stay, when you get to the strip pay the 5 or 6 bucks for the Duece, double decker public bus system. The pass is good for 24 hours and goes from Mandalay to Fremont street. And drink plenty of water.

    I just know from my experience dealing with Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, (in which all workers comp has to be purchased through) when I found someone to drive my cargo van I would have to treat the person as an employee if even one of the bureaus criteria was met.
