[inlink]katrina,13[/inlink] There are a lot of people who think a Casino in Buffalo is a bad idea. I'm not one of them. But I think I know some of the reasons they disagree with them. People get addicted to gambaling and lose there money. Often they are local people. The jobs are poor paying. The casino makes a lot of money and dosn't really have to share it. Crime rates do sometimes go up around Casinos that means we need more police. It could cost us more to police it then the money we will make. Casinos in New York state are illegal. That means that they can only be run if the indains own the land and run them. That is another concern. I know someone who lives in the falls and they claim that the casino hasn't spawned any devolpment like they thought it might. The indains did build one hotel but other than that the falls really hasn't profited much. Maybe next time you see one of the anti casino bill signs or bumper stickers ask the person why. I'm sure they have more valid reasons then I stated.


I myself am for a Downtown waterfront Casino. That being said I don't think that a Casino will slove all the problems, it is not an emergancy fix everything Pill. I think it is one of many things that would help the city. Somepeople think it alone will fix the city. I think that it would be good to have more jobs In Buffalo. For someone who dosn't have a Job i think it gives a lot of opertunities. Plus it takes some power away from temp agancies I think they have to much power. I think there could be a good deal made so that the state, county and City get some money from the casino. There are two very nice Casinos on the Candain side of the falls. They got them built before us cause The Donald gave money to vote done legalisation of gambaling when they first wanted to bulid a casiono in the falls. I think the idea of a walmart in Downtown buffalo is kinda a good idea because you do need a place that sells a lot of stuff since more people are moving in and the area is growing. But I think it would be better to revitalise the Main Place mall, if that is possible. What killed the mall is that all the big chain stores moved out to the Galleria mall or other malls. I would also prefer for shops to open up as opposed to a wallmart. But I don't think anyone who isn't allready downtown or close to the area would drive in just to go to a wallmart. I prefer Target my self but that is just me.

I had a good Holiday. I went to two get togathers one for only a little bit but I really enjoyed my self. At the first one I had Two pieces of Tandori Chicken and Two chesseburgers, lots of fruits, nuts and a few treats and a few drinks and chips so I'm very full. It is always nice to see people and take some pics. I hope everyone enjoyed or is enoying the long holiday weekend. It sucks that I have to go to work on tuesday but it will only be 4 days so it will still be a short week.

I am the first to admit that I don't get really political on this elmwoodstrip. I don't know all of Tim's politics. I do know that he is a preservationist and an interesting guy. He is very nice so I thought I would pass this along to anyone who might be interested.

The other day these thre guys in black suites and black sunglasses show up at my house and say I had better mention I go to tops also if I know what is good for me then they say they where never there. I'm of course kidding but I do shop at tops also. I know some people go to Alda and Sav-A-lot. The way one needs to shop is by wich place has more stuff on sale that they need. I do know somepeople use coupons and will go to multiple places in a day and get what is cheaper at both stores. I've gone to tops a couple times to get SOBE it was on sale for a dollar. But they didn't have a lot of falvors. But they did have the sobe lean wich is usaly hard to find. I'm not a lean person. This brings me to another point when you see things that are fat reduced are they really any better for you. I say not. because when the fat is reomoved something has to take it's place. Often from what I have found is that things with fat removed have much higher sugar levels. That gets me to Splenda and other fake sugar. I eat enough crap with all kinds of chemicals in it so I'm no one to talk. But if you are trying to be healthy just buy something with sugar in it. I'm sure the the sugar is better for you then what ever chemical they add that acts as sugar.

If any of you have been up early in the morning this week there have been some cool sunrises. I'm in cheektowga around 6 am and have seen some good ones. I wish I had my camara with me. Not that I'm sure how I could get a good picture. The one day it was really cool. Smoke or maybe steam of somekind was pumping out of Rosina food and the sun was hitting it and making it look orange and it kinda faded into the sky it was really cool. It is weird when the Moon is still out and the sun is coming up or vice versa when the moon is all ready out and the sun is going away. I wonder if anyone has used a lense tha captured them both in the same picture. I think you would need a wide lense a very wide lense. I know you could do it digitaly by taking a picture of the sun then the sky that leads to the moon and keep doing it then line up the pictures to make one large picture. I'm no way near good enough to even think about doing that. But I'm sure profesional photogrophers could do it. But I wonder if it has been done, I should search the net for it. I don't know what I'm doing this weekend maybe go to a movie maybe go the falls unsure I hope everyone does something nice for it, being it a long weekend.
