Happy Veterans Day

 

  I got this email yesterday from the Grand Victoria Casino saying that if I was a veteran that they would give me a complimentary Burger at their PRIME Burgerhouse today. I had planned on staying home but I couldn’t turn down a free meal so I went.

 When I got to the casino around noon, I played a little craps. It was a $5 table and I took it easy. It was fun. I had won +$41 and I was getting hungry.  With the gas prices at $2.09 here, that would fill up my tank twice so I was happy with what I won. The table was getting too crowded any way and that’s a recipe for disaster, at least in my case it is.

 After I left the table, I went to the PRIME burgerhouse. In the email it said that I had to bring proof that I was a veteran. So I printed out a copy of my DD214 and brought it with me. I told the girl at the restaurant about the email I got. She asked me for something that would tell I was a veteran. I pulled out my service record and she just glanced at it and seated me right away. I ordered this burger; here I’ll show it to you.

 I haven’t had a burger in years. This burger was fantastic, I mean it was really good and the fries were awesome. I was stuffed when I got through. I guess I blew the diet that I was on but I was glad that everything turned out right for me this Veterans Day.

ps: This wasn't meant to be an Ad. I just wanted to to tell you how I spent this Veterans Day.

Halloween

Oct 31st

                                     
    I slept in this Saturday morning and then just took it easy watching TV. They had a Drawing at 4pm at the casino so I thought I would go see if I could win that thing a second time. I ran a bath and sat in it relaxing. All of a sudden someone kept knocking at my door, Really loud. “WTF,” I said to myself. I hurried up and got out of the bath tub and ran to the door. I didn’t even put anything on “Who is it,” I asked. No one answered. I was just about to open the door and stick my head out to see what the hell was going on. But I remembered I had a peep hole in my door so I looked through it and saw these two kids at my door. “OH CRAP. I forgot its Halloween. Damn.” I could have opened the door and told them I was dressed as a Nudist. That would have scared them but I don’t think that would have gone over to big with their parents or the local authorities. So I ignored those pestie little critters and went back and sat in my nice warm bath tub for a little while longer.  I had to get out of this apartment before more of them came crawling around my door so I got dressed and went to the casino. I didn’t win the drawing but after 5 and half hours later, I walked out with a total win of +$15.
