Did the snow ruin my camera?

Snow in Portland! Over 5 inches in about 3 hours. Caused mega traffic accidents. This was on Tuesday, January 16th. This was the same day my new digital camera, the Nikon D-80 arrived. 18-135mm lens. As Borat would say: NAICE!
I love(d) this camera..just seemed so powerful, intuitive, easy to use and hold..etc..but it broke on Sunday. I didnt drop it, Maximus didnt pee on it, nothing. I tred to upload pics to my computer..tjhats it. The lcd monitor went out, the exposures remaining button dissapeared, the battery light flashed constantly..all kinds of weirdness. I asked for help on dpreview.com and then bitched to the reseller (via amazon) and I had another new D-80 by Thursday (yesterday). I am waiting a week or two before sending the broken one back for my refund, just to make sure.

I am off to Vegas on Sunday. We all remember what happened last time in Vegas with me sleeping in the damn airport, right? Lets hope it all works out and I have fun. I REALLY wanted to hit up Mesa Grill, as I have a man-crush on Bobby Flay, but we couldnt get reservations before 9pm and that was too late for some of our party. So who knows where we will end up. Someone said "Yorie's" which is a Brazilian steakhouse place. I am sure its tasty and all, but when you are in Vegas, go for broke..I'm fine with Chinois, as its pretty darn good too, even though theres a couple of em in California as well, but if we are gonna be cheap, just go to In-n-Out!
I still cant decide if I am going to bet on the Superbowl or not. I think the Colts will win and cover the spread, but I thought that last year too with the Seahawks. Well, my prediction is 34-21 Colts. Ill get in some rounds of craps though! So, I come back Wednesday and then leave for LA on Thursday, coming back to Stumptown on Monday morning.

Anyways..ill try to post some Vegas and LA pictures, now that I have a digital camera!
