Molly’s is just one of a few independent gaming companies around the valley, to me, they are mom-and-pop operations which is something I support, but not the gambling aspect. In my nine years here I have deposited not one red cent into any machine, my money stays in the bank! Partly cloudy and 108 are forecast for today, yet another scorching day. The tree company will be here at 7:30 this morning to prune my palm trees, finally! Pictures are coming of course. Oh, they are here now! Here are some photos, much better!

It’s funny how pruning makes quite the difference in the appearance of palm trees. Looks so neat and tidy now.
Thank you! I love the way they look right after the prune, in a couple of weeks, the fronds will hang at a lower angle. My favorite trees, have been for decades. The guy in charge of the crew told me that he doesn’t really like palm trees!
Very wise 🙂
Thank you, Rudi! i think so too, those casinos on the Strip show that they have enough of other people’s money already.
They cater to desperation and addiction. I don’t mind dropping in to a casino for an hour or so if we are out of town but it wouldn’t bother me if I never went into the one here again. We used to go but have been there twice since things reopened after the pandemic and it is worse than ever.
Worse than ever? Absolutely stay away! You may catch something other than Covid. Eeew!
They usually have decent restaurants (including the casino here). 🤷
Well that’s good! I would like to visit your city.
It’s an addiction like any other, but somehow it is promoted shamelessly. So many sad stories come about because of gambling addictions.
Sin City has got to have thousands of sad stories, Anneli. Stories of addiction, divorce, broken and destroyed families. Alcohol addition… Sadness.
I’m sure it does, and so do many of the places we see casinos – in almost every town.
Michigan has casinos in the upper and lower peninsulas, some if not all are owned and operated by the native Americans. I’ve been in the casino in Detroit and in Mount Pleasant, both in the lower.
Same here, most if not all owned or at least run by native Americans.
I think that’s a good deal because we Europeans came over and stole their land. Shameful!
People all over the world have been “stealing” each other’s land since time began. We all have to start living in the present and get on with it, together.
You are right, thanks for reminding me. Look what the Romans did long ago by conquering so many other countries including what is the UK today.
I think most of the conquering and warring is done and people should try to settle in their lands and make it work for all who live there.
That’s common sense thinking!
