“… here hundreds sit and play Bingo; here the bright lights of Broadway burn through a sea haze; here Somebodies tumble over other Somebodies and over Nobodies as well.”
For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

Ahhh, so I am back at work. Sigh. So I dug A.C. I understand also why it would be a bad idea to have slots in Baltimore. Atlantic City is like Baltimore with one added vice that just throws alot of things off. Sitting on the Boardwalk reminded me of being near the Inner Harbor. Tourists, locals, bums and characters….lots of characters.

I also wonder why so many places are trying to be young and hip…it was like a baby boomers convention most of the time. All them folks want is comp and buffets. Which made for a lot of akward elevator moments. I have to ask: If you need a room key to get to certain floors in the hotel and a y0ung black couple is going down from one of these floors…do you really think they’re going to rob or hurt you? In a Trump hotel no less. I’m sure that would work out wonderfully. Especially since on every floor afterwards there are security guards. Yeah.

I didn’t get rich, obviously or I wouldn’t be at work now. I did win some money…but I got caught up. Luckily the Vixen was cautious and I reinforced that so she got to leave with some cash. I would recommend that move to people. We split a few bets and those actually won the biggest, so by splitting them she got to walk away with some cash. I also learned a lot about gambling. Those penny and nickel progressive slots pay folks. I got to spend some time on the beach and even though it wasn’t bad…even minor sunburn on a black man sucks. It wasn’t enough to hurt, but still. Had some nice meals…if you’re there I recommend Cuba Libre in the Tropicana…very nice. I’ve also noticed that people on trains are stupid. If you have walked up and down the aisle 3 times….no seats are going to open up. People disembark and then you board so if the only seats are next to people just deal with it. All in all it was good. Now I just have to deal with working…again.
