Shiny Sparkly Balls

Since I've been in Arizona I've been bowling with some friends quite a bit. It became a 2-3 night a week activity and the shoe rental fee was killing me. So last week I bought a pair of bowling shoes. They were running a special that included a ball, bag, and shoes for $100, so I upgraded to that and got a ball too. I chose the model called "Blazing Fire", red with orange. Included with the ball was custom hole drilling. This part was pretty cool. The guy at the store took this protractor looking device and used it to measure my hand and finger sizes.

I've noticed the abundance of Tanning Salons here in my local area. It really amazes me that tanning companies can exist and be profitable in the US city with the most sunny days per year (310). It's pretty impressive to be selling sunlight in a place that has been sunny for every day I've been here.
