Leaving it in Las Vegas

Well, I guess I’ll be keeping my day job.

Just lost all my spending cash and then some in Vegas. Lost the $100 a businessman gave me to bet. Lost my editor’s editor’s money. And lost the $30 bucks Molly McMillin gave me out of pity at the poker table when she was on a winning streak.

But, as the businessman tells me, just look at it as a seed money. I’ve got it planted. Now all I have to do is go back out and get it.

    Carrie – I got a rather slick mailer today from “Sumner Resorts – Harrah’s Kansas”. Quite a booklet touting their proposal as the biggest, most jobs, most revenue etc. Real postage stamps, not metered. I wonder if they sent those to everyone or if they have some sort of mailing list – and if so what is the list from?

    They are definitelymaking a big push at the state level – oretty much against the Sumner County Commission.

    Since I don’t really have a dog in this fight I find it rather interesting to watch this play out. As a prediction I think Harrah’s will win. It is a state decision and they will look at the bottom line rather than the specific Sumner county position.

    Your guesses?
