Oh how I love Vegas. You can live it up as big as you want or be as simple as people watching and still have a blast. Before kids I used to go at least twice a year and even seriously debated moving there. Then realized it's so much fun because I don't live there...there can be to much of a good thing.

People keep thinking inflation isn't here because they just aren't noticing what companies have been doing to hide the truth. When you purchase almost anything at the grocery store the size is smaller then it was just 5 years ago yet the price has risen. The price increase doen't seem so bad until you realize you are also getting 5-15% less product.

Clothing companies are using lower grade fabrics. And so forth. It's a serious issue and people just aren't realizing how their dollar is becoming less and less valuable.
