Vegas for Baptists


We are in Branson to go to "Silver Dollar City" with the Grandsons and family. It is interesting that "Silver Dollar" seems like a reference to gambling (Vegas) because this is a wholesome family destination. Silver Dollar City is about things past and to my surprise all of Branson is still in the past. There is NO 3G here! Imagine thousands of us tourists who are all controlled by our smart phones and slowed from using "FaceBook", and "Words with Friends", and such. We may even start talking to each other and looking at nature!

People here come in groups. Church groups, Senior Citizen groups and large families. This does not exist in Vegas. That reminds me of a favorite joke, "Why do you always take more than one Baptist when you go fishing? If you take just one, he'll drink all the beer."
