When the snowbirds start flocking to Yuma,AZ each fall you can almost hear the businessmen chanting, "Show me the money, show me the money!" In the forefront are the owners of the two large casinos. They're next to salivating as they watch those big rigs arriving by the thousands. After we've finished gobbling up the $.99 breakfast the machines gobble up our social security. A person can stand in line for as long as an hour to get the free $10, which is usually gone in the blink of an eye! Why do we get up at 6 AM to join a line a mile long and then lose money? Beats me, but it's probably because it's fun---a chance to socialize, eat out and once in a blue moon come home winners. A word to the wise: If you're on a strict budget, stay home and make your own breakfast.
