post Christmas

Well I worked the day after Christmas in the morning, and it was the ususal esperiences. There were plenty of people going home through the morning tired and drunk. Many told me that they had a good night, but no one said that it was a great night. A few people seemed 'down'.

A few young people were going to the all day dance/concert at the Music Bowl, sold out 15,000 tickets at $80), a few went to shopping centres, a few went out to lunch with friends, and there was a big race meeting at Flemington.

Apart from visiting friends none of the above seem a good way to spend New Years Day to me, but we here are failures as consumers, and I haven't been to a race meeting in 31 years since we lived in Warnambool and got a holiday for the Warnambool Cup.

Carol those who know say that the Christmas - New Year time is a great time for depression and suicide. Eldest son, Nigel, who works at the casino in the first aid section says that there are very few suicides there in the complex including the hotel, but they believe a good number on the way home, expecially people jumping off the West Gate Bridge. I lined up in the taxi on Boxing Day there at once stage, only 40 in front of me when I got there, and the line was moving: there were plenty of people coming and going, the place was booming.
