Beach Blogging In Biloxi, Briefly
I forgot my camera or I’d give you a picture out the window of the hotel. I have a room on the West side looking along the Gulf beach. The thing that strikes me is that Katrina took the buildings and left the trees. Huge old live oaks in rows along streets that used to have buildings. Mid rise casino/hotels stick up every half mile or so.
Gambling funds are down, but losing is leisurely and enjoyable. Five of us came down from Atlanta. The consensus is Biloxi is nice. It isn’t Vegas; but, that is good. We’re staying at the Grand Biloxi, owned by Harrahs. Everyone that works here is friendly as they take your money.
Two drawbacks. First, my AT&T broadband wireless internet is slooooooow. The normal 3G network isn’t here. I’m on EDGE, a bit faster than dial up. Second, it is Sunday morning and the only newspaper available is the Sun Herald, “South Mississippi’s Newspaper.” It’s about an inch and a half thick, most of which looks to be ads.
Enjoy your day, my goal is to lose more money while having fun. Big Rick swears he isn’t down too much.
Good News Update! The hotel wireless isn't restricted. I zoomed to the blog.

Beach blogging? Watch you don't get sand in your hard drive.
Although I have been to Lost Wages and Atlantic City, I could never get interested in casino gambling. I doubt I'd get much, if any, enjoyment out of Biloxi. But I would be close to my wife's family there.
hmmm, I'm noticing an interesting alliterative trend in your blog titles ... something I really appreciate and admire.
Bonus!
Molly, I hadn't noticed it, but I seem to be working my way through the B's.
Not worth an entire post, but, I just paid a $1.59, including tax, for a single, not two, a single Aleve. Got to love monopoly sources.
Geez -their monopoly prices are right up there with those a hospital would charge too! Incredible, isn't it?
Dave, darlin', just double your price and have another beer!
I was there a few years ago while visiting an Aunt in Long Beach - Katrina left that huge guitar standing while she destroyed the surrounding building. The trees though are amazing - she did get some of them.
I feel like the old timey guy wearing a barrel with suspenders holding it up. I made it home with enough money to pay my parking and buy a double cheeseburger. It's the Biloxi blues for me. On the bright side I did make it to work on time tonight, so I won't be broke too long.
