Plastic People and well done to the REAL people

So a day and night in Vegas, my idea of hell, I'm not a gambler as I'd rather spend my cash on important things like petrol and beer! Its just as I thought it would be, people being fleeced of all their cash while thinking they are having a good time. To me its quite sad to see the people at the slot machines and the gaming tables hoping the next spin of the wheel or next slot machine jackpot will be theirs while desperately blocking out the fact that they have to work hard to make that money and now they are squandering it away. That's just my opinion and I don't mean to be a party pooper but do you realise how rich the people who run and own this place have become on the back of false hopes? I had a flashback to some of the countries I've visited this trip and how the people there have had nothing yet here the people have so much money they are desperate to throw it away, crazy.
It is impressive though in a movie set over the top extravagance kind of way but I'll be glad to head out of here tomorrow to somewhere although no doubt commercial (it all is) somewhere  less crass.

The Real people however are at this moment pitting themselves against the mountain circuit at the Isle of Man TT, congratulations to my friends from Perth, Peter Burgess (Budge) and Jimmy Storar on good finishes in Saturday's sidecar race (Budge) and Sundays Supebike race (Jimmy) Matter of fact well done to all the competitors there, a mile apart from the mentality I've experienced lately. Good luck for the rest of the week, if you're interested all details on www.iomtt.com
