Re: SC72

Wizard,
Come to think of it this can be a loathsome place for millions of millionaires on vacation from reality. That must be why there are more malls per person than anywhere else. And more bars per alcoholic than anywhere. My neighbors says Vegas does better during recession than most places because most of the rich wanna have fun with their last million or so, so they come here to blow that last pile of cash.
I can tell we in Vegas have slowed some. Instead of working 7 days for 12 hours. We are only working 6 days for 10 hours. I thought it was for the heat. But it could be this economy.
Our politicians recently agreed to add a fourth terminal to the airport. I guess that's ok since it is too expensive to drive here now.
At least you have to give credit to GWB for solving the traffic congestion problem. You see more motorcycles on the road now too. He single handedly brought back the electric car idea too. Yea, we needed that.
Commander Kuntsler is a class act. I remember when he defended the Chicargo 7 and Bobby Seals. Then gave Orange juice to OJ. You have to admire a man with a name similar to a cuss word and in open court.
Thanks for calling off that airstrike, it would only make my hot springs too crowded :~)
Speaking of reality checks ... recently, while in the Florida panhandle. I forgot how friendly folks are back home. On my first morning at my mothers house, I took an early morning stroll to a historic park nearby. While walking the 2 blocks there at least a dozen folks said good morning like everything depended on it and they really meant it. My sister said some big magazine recently voted N.W. Florida the friendliest place to live. Then, when I got back here to Vegas, while going back to my job on Las Veagas Blvd. two young women appeard confussed as to where some place was while at the cross walk. So I asked what place they were looking for ? Thinking I might help. Their reply... NONE of your bussiness !
That brought me back to this phonny balony reality fast ;-(
