I can't leave you people alone for five minutes. There is a blogging epidemic. I love it. I just got back from Kewadin about 2 hours ago and my first thought was "What's there to eat?" (question mark inside the quotes too?) (inside the parentheses?) (Who's Ben Franklin?)
After checking emails and blogs I haven't thought about snacking for 2 hours. This is going to be great for my diet plan.
Kewadin was worderful. We took a vote on the bus to make a stop at Hessel (A barn size small casino in the Kewadin chain) and that meant another $10.00 voucher. I managed to spend all the money they gave me and only $15.00 of my own so the trip was a great success.
They reopened the Paradise Room which, due to fire damage, had to be revamped. I expected some major revamping with better machines and more ticket machines, but not so. I was very disappointed but managed to have a little fun.
The time and date stamp on my posting page is set for pacific time. I don't know why. I know I can change it but it doesn't stay changed so the heck with it.

I hope there wasn't anyone else at the casino in Hessel; a bus load could easily fill up those little ones.
I am glad you had fun, but I am glad you are back.

Hessel was a bad idea. It was packed. And the regular locals were pretty disgruntled to see a busload of extra people. If that ever comes up again I will vote against. It wasn't worth the extra $10.00.
I don't remember knowing that the Paradise Room was closed. How did we ever exist before blogging?
Didn't we go to Hessel one Thanksgiving day when we drove up. It was completely empty. And that was good because there were four of us and that made it a little crowded.

Since I don't have any comments on casinos, I'll fill you in on Ben Franklin--Eighteenth Century Statesman, founding father of America, inventor, printer whom Walter Isaacson describes as "America's first great publicist" and as an "ambitious urban entrpreneur." (See, the period goes with the sentence, not with the quote, but it goes inside the quotation marks pursuant to rules devised by Ben Franklin) As a printer and author, he got involved in publishing rules of grammer(according to an English class that Erika took in college which she shared with us years ago). He identified 13 rules that he changed in honor of the 13 colonies. I was going to write a whole blog on this subject, but I'm only 85 pages into Isaacson's book about him, so I'll wait til I finish the book. (So far the book hasn't discussed his penchant for grammer.)
That was Christmas that we went to where the casino was so small you couldn't turn around without starting another slot machine.
The punctuation inside the quotes is my second favorite; right after a comma before the "and" in a string of items. The case that was given was the Liz was able to sue and receive half of her fathers inheritance when it was written that it should be split between "Liz, Luke and Larry."
I thought it was Luke and Laura
