Hi,

I just got back from doing a bunch of lectures at the Valley of Fire State Park.  I did a new show called "Dinosaurs of the Valley of Fire."  I discuss the various critters that have been found in the park (BTW it's the only place in Nevada where dinosaur material has been found).

Over 100 people showed.  So many that I had to do an extra show and we still had to turn people away.  I think it's because the Nevada State Park Department finally started advertising in the local paper.

I also found a new way to tell if your audience is primarily Democrat or Republican.  I told a joke about Harry Reid (Nevada's Senior Senator).  I joked that he was one of the prehistoric beasts that had been to the park.  I then said it was unfair to compare him with dinosaurs since dinosaurs were smarter (I know, it's almost the same as my Ted Kennedy joke, but it works better here).  Those that didn't laugh were D's.  Those that did were R's

Later this month I'll write about my adventures digging up trilobites near Pioche, NV with NFOP and UFOP.
