Wait...a straight beats 3 of a kind?
Not much to report today. Went grocery shopping. Oh boy do I hate grocery shopping. Mobs of people slowly traipsing through the aisles, rudely oblivious to everyone around them, taking up the middle of the aisle with their shopping carts as if no one wants to get by them while they peruse the variety of different olive oil brands at a glacierly pace. And the mile long check-out lines...ugh. I'd rather rip a thousand bandaids slowly off my arms and legs.
However, I did do one worthy thing today. I saw in the newspaper that Monday is the last day to register to vote for next month's election. I'm already registered but I knew that Mom wasn't. For once, I was actually less procrastinative than someone else... I told her they had a booth at the mall and that we had better go and she said "Oh, yeah...definitely." So we went and now she's all set to vote. And I got a demonstration of the nifty new touch screen voting machines. Probably won't use it since they're mostly sticking to paper ballots in this county...but you CAN use the touch screen if you want to. Right now, they have it set up mostly for people with "disabilities," though I don't know what kind of disabilities.
And Sunday at 1pm eastern I'm playing in the poker tournament. The prize - as it turns out - is a trip to the Caribbean. That's it. No $$. I guess you go down there to play in a "real" tournament. Not sure on all the details, other than you win a trip to the Caribbean. That'd be nice. Course, with my record lately, there'd probably be a hurricane. So wish me luck. I'll need it. Last I knew there were over 1,700 players.
