In April, 2006, due to ISC West in Las Vegas, Nevada, it is my second time visiting the America, in which everything seems to be bigger than that in Taiwan. After simple decoration as well as setting up camera, CRT monitor, our MPEG-2 DVR & complicated cabling, followed by product test & video adjustment for the best demonstration in a morning, honcho A, engineer C, salesgirl K & I went to the Hoover Dam in the same state that afternoon.2006年4月，為了在拉斯維加斯舉行的ISC West展，A-Mao第二度造訪這個什麼都大的泱泱大國。4號當天早上佈置好會場的攤位（架設我們家的DVR與別人家的攝影機和螢幕、連結複雜的訊號線材以及簡單的裝潢）、做完產品測試與影像調整之後，下午藉由地利之便，便與A老大、C同學與K小姐驅車前往同樣是位在內華達州的胡佛水壩。
Although there was a GPS brought by honcho A, our car still got lost in the desert, but we began being excited while watching the blue Lake Mead. Meanwhile, what's the problem about the car in the front of us? Did he or she lose all money on the craps or blackjack table?在租來的車上，雖然有A老大準備的GPS，有點囧地，我們還是在遼闊的沙漠中迷了路；不過當看到這絲絨藍的浩瀚米德湖水後，眾人就開始興奮起來。啊前方這台車沒有車牌是怎樣？是否於賭場輸光、又欠下高利貸正在跑路嗎？
Oh, here came a clock on the intake tower. Obviously, it was 16:08 in bald Nevada then—Pacific Time Zone.喔！發現一只時鐘：那當下光禿禿的內華達州是16點08分（太平洋標準時區）。
It took us 11 minutes from Nevada to Arizona because it was 16:19 in hairless Arizona afterward—Mountain Time Zone. This dam is made in USA, of course. It is across two states! You might notice that the time is the same on both clocks. Why both were synchronized? Because Arizona does not use daylight savings time.這水壩果然是美國製造，就是一個大字來形容。16點19分，我們花了約11分鐘自內華達州，到了童山濯濯的亞利桑那州（山區標準時區）。各位一定會奇怪為何兩個時區的時間是同步的咧？原來位在東邊的亞利桑那是不實行日光節約時間的啦！
While we were chatting by the lake, suddenly, A-Mao noticed a moving stone. Well, the wind was really speedy, but it was impossible to make a stone rolling. Later I figured out it is a chipmunk. Hi, little cutie! For whom are you waiting? Your partner?其間一群人倚在湖邊的欄杆上鬼扯蛋。A-Mao竟發現到一顆石頭在滾，在快要落水時，卻又定住不動了；當時的風勢真的是很大啦，但怎會大到吹得動石頭咧？仔細一看，原來是隻花栗鼠。嗨！可愛小寶貝，妳在等待良人歸來嗎？【胡佛水坝】
