Do you hear that? Do you feel that? It's my heart pounding, and my head buzzing from the nervous excitement.
I just got the call, my week will 29 Oct to 05 Nov. This is a tenative date, they called me to double check my availability before they booked the airline tickets. I'm stoked, nervous, excited. And tongue tied, apparently. More reports as events warrant.

It is....
And i'm a yankee in the south too - it's interesting, people tend to look at ya twice when you open your mouth. Pretty soon you'll start fixin to do stuff. You'll know then, it's time to come home. Glad you can do this...wish I could, but unfortunately, current situations won't let me head further south.

Today there was a very good article on NPR about Bay St. Louis. Recommended.

Nope. Not a dreamer. The waiving/relaxing/suspending/changing of the rules is in full swing. I read that the casinos can now be onshore, not floating as before. A considerable change, driven by the hunger for the revenues from gambling. But with the casinos difficulty in obtaining insurance for floating properties, compared to bulidings on land, the change is in the works.

Yes, dreamer. Build the casinos on land....who's land? Former public land? Like hell, they'll take the land they want, in the best locations. Lot's of land for parking too.
What? You want to rebuild that waterfront home that's been in the family for 80 years. Tough shit, Boy. We're, with the help of the supreme court, building tax revenue generating properties here, so go away, squatter. Oh, you'll sue? Bwahahahahahaha! You can't rebuild...we changed the zoning.

Yeah, I guess I misread you the first time. There will be many instances of those with power/pull using it to bulldoze the opposition. I guess I wasn't sufficiently cynical. One of my many character flaws.
