HOW BAD IS THE ECONOMY?

I spent a few hours on my birthday, Sunday, at the Finger Lakes Racetrack and casino. I’ve been going there 2-3 times a year for a few years now.

In what may be a true comment on the economy, the number of 1 cent video slots was overwhelming. It was almost difficult to find a quarter slot. Two years ago, the penny slots took up one tiny section of the floor. Sunday they were everywhere. Gotta wonder.

Jeez. I think I'll check it out at my local casino. If it's true, I can afford to gamble again.
