Deflation

Feeling it. A sense of deflation - in everything. The economy, the government - that huge post-election bubble. Press up close, listen to that air run out. And Vegas, I hear, though I haven't been back since August which is about when I - maybe we, or most of us, started running bad. Real Estate - forget about it. Ain't nothing real about it. But man, the Shoe's room is packed. Thirty on the 1/2 list - ten tables running. Maybe two in ten running good. Everyone playing tight. Except the drunks and the new boys. Drunks win. Go figure. Breathe out. Breathe in.
