under the cover of sand creek scandal

My wife Janet and I visited Las Vegas and like most everyone we walked through the casinos. Neither one of us are experienced gamblers. 

I put $20 in a slot machine, won $200 and cashed out. We used the winnings for tickets to a show at the Mirage casino.

We rented a black Mustang Convertible and drove down the strip at night with the top down before visiting the Hover Dam and the Grand Canyon. The drive to the canyon had me thinking again about the open desert and the greed in Vegas. It occurred to me that between the casinos where people from all over the world come to leave their money behind, perhaps their entire life's savings, there had to be a political connection to the business of the justice and prison systems.

Sand Creek Scandal was born while I was sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon and came to life shortly after the trip, giving Brad Morrison another adventure.
