Default so i went to the meadowlands

for 2 hours and placed 2 bets.

i spent a lot of time at the customer service desk with a very kind grandmother who worked there for about 15 years. i was more interested as to what the workers were feeling about what is most likely inevitable. it seems the clouds have darkened over the employees and their spirits. they are resigned to seeing the end is coming.

it was extremely sad. some of the people i spoke too have been there 20 years + or since it opened.

guys like dave brower and Bob Heyden, ive talked too them many times. i feel bad for them. i feel bad for me.

Also, Heyden was a little more optomistic but very pissed off.

i hope monmouth is better.
