Poll: Silent Sandoval Has Big Lead Over mouthy Reid
http://www.fox5vegas.com/news/24044761/detail.html LAS VEGAS -- The silent treatment appears to be paying off for Nevada gubernatorial candidate Brian Sandoval.

Day 6 Got up at 3.30 and drove to Frankies's Tiki Bar on Charleston, which is owned by the same people as one of my favorites, Double Down Saloon.
