THE LAST DITCH
In case anyone thought I was exaggerating in my last post, I took this photo on my way to a (superb) Italian meal last night. Today, it’s on to the Grand Canyon. Farewell Nevada, hello Arizona.
I haven’t been to Vegas, but there’s a carbon copy of this canal setup in the Venetian in Macau, complete with Chinese families being serenaded by Chinese gondoliers. Utterly bizarre.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
