[meteorite-list] Belated happy New Year

[Raremeteorites]

A belated Happy New Year from Nevada.

It was a pretty eventful New Years trip for us as we always stay at the Rio 
in Las Vegas.   The Rio is off of the strip so we can normally view the 
entire celebration and fireworks show without ever leaving our suite.  This 
year was different since there were two fires at the Hotel that filled the 
elevator shafts with acrid smoke.  People panicked since they could not 
immediately get down off of the upper floors.  The sprinkler systems shorted 
out the backup generator power causing even more problems.   Some people 
automatically assumed some kind of terrorist attack since that is what they 
have been seeing on TV every other month.  The fire department forced an 
evacuation so we were moved to another hotel right on the strip.  It is 
interesting that they left the gaming floor open during all of this.

We did not want to be part of the main crowd on the strip with hundreds of 
thousands of people partying but ended up there anyway.

We were able to connect with family members and friends on the strip so it 
turned out to be fun after all.

Happy New Year and Hoping 2017 will be a much better year for all.
