Update 12-22-07

Merry Christmas!! Here it is another weekend and DH was working at West World again.
DW brought DH lunch today & DH gave DW the latest tour of the site in his golf cart. Today we were lucky enough to see how one of the big car tents gets put up. AMAZING to see.
DH asked the supervisor (Mike) if it's dangerous setting these up? Mike said it's VERY dangerous. If a gust of wind were to hit, everyone under the tent would scatter. Basically he said it's like shaking the dirt off a rug.
Once the waves start rippling across the tent, the poles get strewn and tossed about as if you threw a box of matchsticks in the air.
Luckily today was a calm day and nobody got hurt.

We also were treated to something both of us have never seen, a full on Polo match that was indescribable. West World has two Polo fields. When Barrett-Jackson has the auction, the tents you see above are actually set-up on one of them.
It was simply amazing to see the grace and skill of both the jockey and horse work together as one. Something we will never forget.

We wish each and everyone of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
