Even Casinos are slow.

I went to see my college friends and one of them was playing in a band. My first time to Mohegan Sun Casino. Very nice building and location for the casino. We got to enjoy some good country music. I even got to squeeze in some photography while I was there. This shot was of the stone mineral columns that were lit from the inside. Big thanks to Mike for setting up the get together. Super Matt has a great voice and his band sound great. There weren't a lot of people there because of the weak economy.

Post update. I have forgot to give photo credit to Lou who was the passenger and photographer for the first shot of the casino at sunset.

Yet another thing Busch screwed up.

Now that he isn't in office I feel like I can finally share all the things this guy did to put the country in the mess it is in today. This was one I just discovered this evening. The big three had proof of high mileage concept vehicles they had developed using government research dollars. The program had been established by Clinton with $2B to reduce our oil consumption. The program was canceled by George Busch. A Diesel Hybrid that was capable of 60MPG 10 years ago. Maybe if they hadn't canceled their plans I would have been driving an American Car instead of a German VW Diesel built in Mexico.
