That's why the presence of water, just about everywhere is the most easily seen sign of Las Vegas' decadence and excess. I was thinking of this when I drove onto the golf course for my last lesson and saw the water streaming. And, of course, there's water everywhere else, in every public place. I took my last golf lesson this morning. Once again there was a videotaping session and I could definitely see the difference in my swing.
Golf is crack cocaine for middle aged men.
There was an inversion, a layer of warmer air capping the lower atmosphere, which manifested itself in a gray haze that could be seen, hanging over the city 5-6 miles away. This kind of haze isn't evident when your under it, but was very evident at a distance. While I played golf, Helaine headed to The Venetian's Canal Shoppes. Last year when we went to The Venetian, a fire alarm went off but no one moved. A bad sign.
