There's more to life than casinos

But, in my case, not much more than cars. Sort of. Anyhow, I've noticed this trend of corraling cars on dealer lots behind chain link fences during sales. I was driving to the Mashantucket Pequot museum earlier today for an assignment when I saw the latest wholesale roundup and imprisonment of vehicles. As if they might drive off on their own....

By the way, if you have
n't gone to see the Race exhibit at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center, it is pretty interesting. Toward the end, there are several panels with information about the Carlisle School in Pennsylvania where American Indian children were sent to be "civilized," how some New Englanders formed fraternal organizations to keep the memory of the American Indians alive and how actual American Indians, including Mohegan Medicine Woman Gladys Tantaquidgeon, tried to keep their tribes alive during the last century.

A little off subject, but the NLRB issued a complaint against Foxwoods friday for refusing to bargain with the dealers. Where's the media coverage?

Good question. I'll check into it Monday. Thanks for the heads up.
