I had a good day...
A reporter for a local paper interviewed me for a story. On the way home I chanced to stop at the very same Casino that got Nowslimmer thrown in jail. Stuck a couple of nickels in a machine and won $172.90. I decided to eat in the infamous "Loose Change Cafe" and on my way in ran into the Casino manager who I went to high school with 1 or 2 years ago. He bought my meal. Not a great day as days go, but I've definitely had worse. If Nowslimmer would have behaved, they would have treated him as nicely.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is my new all-time favorite show ---




Stop me if you've heard this one before....

I was slugging along in the pouring rain near Shining Rock Gap years ago when someone asked me what I'd do if I won the lottery. Without skipping a beat, I said, "I'm gonna get all my backpacking equipment bronzed.... then I'll get the helicopter to put me wherever I want to go and have the whole damn thing catered!"
