Nope, not that one. But it's a good one. Years ago, we used to visit Wifey's friends up in Chicago. At the time, they had a kid who was into Barney and Teletubbies, so those shows were always on the TV when we visited. Drove me nuts.

Back in ye old days, all restaurants allowed smoking. And many other places. Disgusting habit that will kill you. People finally wised up. At least most people have.

You can thank San Luis Obispo City Councilman Jerry Reese for no smoking in restaurants and other public places. It started here in San Luis Obispo, Ca.
We were the first.

I nearly turned into a pumpkin at 11:30 Friday night (hey, it was my birthday so I was staying up WAY late!!) Wife made me play a few more hands of 3-card poker at the casino.

I start to look at my cards:
Q heart,
K hearts,

s l o w l y slide that last card and its

A - hearts!!!!!!!

Mini royal paid $1000 on my $5 bet, plus the dealer had 2 hearts so I got $400 on 6 card bonus. Then the pit boss took my ID, SSN, and job description. He came back several minutes later with my IRS paperwork and $7280 for the progressive bonus!!

I was up almost another 90 minutes!!!!!
