I had my first ever casino experience last night. The buffet was good and I got my very own Player's Card. I only lost 6 bucks, so I'm glad I stopped when I did.

The whole experience reminded me once again of what a messed up place we live in. In the middle of all that Niagara Falls poverty, there's a room somewhere filled with money. Not to mention all the food that is thrown out after it goes "bad". I'm so glad I could be a part of such wasteful overindulgence.

Wow - Holly has sparked quite the discussion. For what it's worth, I never thought you emanated a particularly lesbian vibe. Sounds like there are just too many narrow-minded people out there who assume that a woman with some self-confidence must be a lesbian. Sort of like those people that think all feminists are lesbians. Very annoying.

Check this out. New York State has released new high-resolution aerial photos. This shows the Wilson Farms parking lot area. These things are freakin' free! Paul - if we can add some zooming functionality to the site, we could put the whole Elmwood area online.

I've heard quite a bit about the capture of Saddam. You can barely get away from it. It's certainly a positive development, but while we hear so much about fighting the war on terror, I've heard little on the UN nuclear disarmament vote that took place last week. The US voted against a comprehensive test ban treaty, the elimination of nuclear weapons, and an obligation of nuclear disarmament. Perhaps I'm missing something, but if we can go into other countries on the pretense that they have weapons of mass destruction, even if it hasn't been proven, why are we one of the few countries of the world opposed to disarmament?
