I agree that while Andrew was posting, it was fair game to discuss Alan. Now that he's truly gone, I'd like to see the discussion of him dwindle down.

That's just a cliche' V. It's only a gamble to those who are unprepared, uncommitted, and who go into marriage for the wrong reasons--and you are correct, way too many end in divorce because of this which means plenty of profits for the attorneys.
Now LIFE--that's a different story. Many people must take sizeable gambles at various times in their lives if they want success or to become an overachiever. Some fail.
By the way, an example of a fairly lower-level "gamble" for me that hasn't really worked out is the '69 AMC SC/rambler I bought in the early '80's. I thought its value would soar being a rare muscle car of the "60's, but it hasn't. As a result I am displaying it for the 3rd time at Hot August Nights this weekend. It's making the rounds between Atlantis, downtown, Peppermill and GSR if anybody goes to that show. But I'll never divorce it.

How is HAN’s these days? I know a few years ago it was becoming dangerous with thugs from SF and Oakland coming over starting fights and even shooting each other over their low riders. Years ago I would spend a night or 2 in downtown Reno back when Fitzgeralds was still open, but even the casinos weren’t safe to be in after dark for a female alone. I understand it’s better by Atlantis and Peppermill but it’s still Reno. It’s amazing what a different world it is 45 minutes South up the mountain.

Too bad I didn't hang on to some now classic cars I once owned "back in the day:" a '68 Camaro RS and a '70 Challenger R/T.
Back then they were "just cars:" not anymore; heck surviving muscle cars seem to be rarely driven any more, they're too valuable and are mostly garage queens.
I took a chance and bought a '95 Ferrari 456GT about ten years ago, hoping it would provide me something new to wrench on plus a good ivestment over time as well as a fun car to drive.
I sold it last year, having spent as much repairing it as I did purchasing it, and came out about ten grand behind overall, all in, when I sold it.
My daily drivers are well maintained, sharp looking Volvo Turbos over 35 years old: easy to work on, parts are available, they're solidly built and I find them comfortable and fun to drive.

What, Me Worry?
No trouble that I've seen. I've heard about the thugs coming over from Oakland (blacks)and Sacramento/Fresno (spics) and these undesirables are saturating Peppermill and especially Atlantis. They mostly come in for free right now under the guise of being refugees and evacuees from the fires. But although they and their piles of irritating kids are beyond annoying as hell, there hasn't been any issues yet.
And by the way I greatly prefer gear heads over pot heads. Muscle cars are just one of the things--like history's greatest music and our ability to thrive and improve without electronic gadgets--that separate that generation from the pathetics of the 30 and 40-something generations. Those weak decades along with the one that follow, have produced some of the most sissified people in history. It's LOADED with transgender freaks, minorities saddled with entitlement beliefs, and uppity gay people who think their choice to be queer because they cower at the thought of actually talking to the opposite sex, makes them "something special" to behold. These confused generations believe some rice burner or some pussified EV are the end all these days. Their days of reckoning will come.
