A little off topic

My 2 cents worth.

I'm an X smoker (9 years or so) and just got back from Vegas. 3rd year in a row getting a sore throat. I love to play poker and have to pay the price for it. There is no smoking in the poker rooms but the smoke stills gets to you from the casino's.

There has to be better technology to handle the second hand smoke. Vegas has an advantage with the climate in that they heat the outddors with gas canopee's so people can dance and listen to music, of course Vegas has more money then the US governement. (Joke)

Now what really gets me with all the money the Tobacco companies had to cough up is where it went. It should have gone into more research and hospital care for the poor who actually payed the bill.

Last but not least I did get to hear some pretty darned good music. I should have wrote down the name of a group playing at the Orleans they could rock and had a few great skits. All in all a good time. If anyone is planning a trip soon be careful of the slots they were screwed down tight. Ask my significant other or any of the loacals to see if it has changed any.
