Las Vegas is weird.
It's a very windy weird, this weekend. It wasn't quite hot, but wowie was it gusty.
We went on an Ingress scavenger hunt, associated with the GoRuck tradition, albeit with only a little bit of pushups and scrabbling around under/over things. Mostly we hiked, looking for things. We didn't have the best communication with our team, but we managed to make it work out. Scavenger hunt items were things like cleaning up trash, finding a veteran and talking to the vet about war experiences. Ours told us a dirty joke instead.
I found this for [personal profile] basefinder, near the Las Vegas Central Library.

I had grilled unicorn cheese sandwich for lunch before the hunt. Somehow I expected it would just be white, yellow, and orange. Oh, no, they went all-out, because it's Las Vegas.

They have a ton of weird cool public art.

(This appeared to actually be drivable.)

We walked over to an art district about 2km from downtown. There were roughly two art galleries there. It appears to have been larger and more interesting at some point in the recent past. But the one gallery that was open was fun to look around in.

I think Yes, to your second example. That structure looks like a groined vault; an intersection of two saddle shapes giving some interior space and nice dramatic flares. I'd like to see it in person!

You are forbidden from using those words in Scrabble.

I cut a 3-mouhefanggai on the bandsaw when I was a kid. It's fun to roll.
