Some friends and I went to see a holiday show and have lunch at the Mystic lake Casino today. We carpooled from the parking lot at work. I was the first to arrive. With fresh snow and an empty parking lot, I had a ton of fun writing my first name in cursive with my car in the snow. I formed the S fairly well and went into the U. After reaching to top of the first point on the U, I put my car in reverse to loop back up and went back into drive to finish the rest of the u and the E. As SOON as I finished my name, my friends drove all over it. I waved my arms to make them stop but they thought I was waving hello. I've never been to this or any Minnesota casino before today. My last trip to a casino was Las Vegas in 1972. I've heard about casinos though and walking in, it was just as I had pictured it. The air was smoky. I saw rows and rows of machines. I saw card dealers standing in front of tables for black jack. I saw people seated while looking at machines with bleary eyes and smoking. Being around smokers was strange. One woman was standing right by me smoking a cigarette and holding an ashtray. With the smoking bans in place for so long, I was momentarily outraged that she did that. The place was noisy, bright, crowded, and loud. The buffet was delicious. The tomatoes Provencal took me into a heavenly zone - I lost touch for a minute or two - because they tasted that delicious. The Cirque Dreams Holidaze show was very entertaining. The set was beautiful and surreal with glitz and glamour. We saw jugglers, singers, hula hoopers, and gymnasts. Wow, those gymnasts can really move their bodies. Now that my body can't move as well as I used to, I really enjoy watching dancers and gymnasts and remember the days when I could move freely. Some of the gymnasts laid on their backs and held people up with their feet. I remember doing that with my children when they were small. We had a good time today.

I want not approve on it. I think polite post. Specially the designation attracted me to review the unscathed story.
Easily I to but I about the brief should acquire more info then it has.
I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory drops, the possibility of downloading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about every once in a while.
