Walked with my youngest son through a casino today. We were in the neighborhood checking out the Dr. Seuss museum which he's wanted to do for a few years now and I thought they might have some interesting restaurants in there. They didn't. We walked around the edge of the gaming area - you have to be 21 to be on the casino floor - and I felt nauseous inside of three minutes. What an absolute drag those places are. The whole thing designed to stun then fleece you. It's news to no one that the house always wins, but they still stream in by the bus load. See them sitting there entranced, vacant, washed out. Willful zombies. I was embarrassed to be there. Reminded me a lot of the current political situation.
