Monday Thoughts

• Stayed the night at WinStar (or should I say LoseStar) again. Nothing new to report, my luck still stinks.
• I think I should decide that I will not go gambling ANYWHERE where it takes me more than 10 minutes to reach the location. I think it will save me lots of money.
• I had a poker party for coworkers on Saturday. Its very embarrassing to have them drive through New Fairview to get to my house... Did I mention I live there?
• There was a strange sight Saturday at the 114 West turn off of 287. There was an accident but apparently it involved a couple of large vehicles so by the time I got there they were sanding the muddy road to get traction for the mega-tow truck and they had a big dumpster with people picking up all sorts of trash on the road. I'm sure there's an interesting story there.
• Anyway I was heading to Giant Burger when I saw that mess. They were VERY nice there. I am guessing they are 'economy-proofing' themselves by pleasing customers.
• They have always been nice, they were just EXTRA nice this time.
• Their burgers are Giant, just like it says.
• Watched bits of the Superbowl while strolling the casino, not too interested.
• I did notice that the stadium they were in was very bland. I can't wait to see what happens when it is in Arlington next year. I'm sure Jerry will pull out ALL the stops.
• Everyone was going on and on about how Louisiana needed this because of Katrina BLA BLA BLA. So, you are telling me this win will mean all those abandoned, run down neighborhoods are going to get fixed because some grown men threw a ball around?
• Hype.
• I just think winning a Superbowl = good news for memorabilia sellers in the area + good news for local economies where the game is held (for about 2 weeks). That's ALL.
• Hype.
• Can you tell I'm not into sports. I am in a VERY SMALL minority but I am sticking to my guns. I think professional sports is a waste of time.
• I think college sports is a tragedy. If they spent the money on academics how many cures could they have found by now? How many decent presidents would there be?
• Yes yes I realize sports brings money into a college, but still, they focus on it too much.
