Coeur d'Alene Tribal Casino: The old and the new.
Yesterday was my monthly run to Idaho. Due to
recent changes in the pick up sites for the
Casino van I had to go way up to the north side
on the city bus just to catch the thing. On the
way there I got involved in a conversation with
the woman sitting next to me on the Casino van,
which included details about her life that I
would just as soon not to have known. Admittedly,
I guess I confessed a few things from mine as well.
Finally at the Casino I bought my cigarettes and
went to the bar and had a Bloody Mary to wait for
the shuttle back to Spokane. On a lark I placed a
bet on a horse, Centrina in the 4th at Belmont.
And by some strange quirk of fate I won, winning
$6 back on my $2 bet.
The trip back seemed endless. I spent the time
reading a tiny book of poems by John Donne and
taking intermittent snapshots of the passing
scenery. And, for some reason, a few self shots
as well.
I've been having problems with tiredness lately
anyway, and by the time I got back home all I
could manage to do was get a glass of ice water,
take a few aspirin, and collapse on the couch.
I was too tired to even eat. But about an hour
later I did manage supper. Then I put on my
night clothes and robe and went to bed.
It was 6:30 p.m.
Give mee thy weaknesse, make mee blinde,
Both wayes as thou and thine, in eies and minde;
Love, let me never know that this
Is love, or, that love childish is.
Let me not know that others know
That she knowes my paines, lest that so
A tender shame make me mine owne.
— John Donne, "Love's Exchange."

Hope you got a good night's rest and feel more perky today. :)Cool photos – including the sleepy eye! And it's always good to win a bet. So cigarettes are that much cheaper in Idaho?

I can get 2 cartons of the bargain variety cigs over there for $40. Two cartons of the cheapest brand available here would cost $180. That's because the Tribal places in Idaho don't have to pay taxes on them. Technically speaking it's illegal to bring them into Washington. But there's no way the State is going to mess with power of the Tribes — — about time I guess.Thanks for the compliment and the wishes — very much appreciated.
Hmm … it is profitable to go there every week, Ed! :yes: In all respects. A tired, ha! Well I'm so tired from work :faint: :p 🙂
So where … good jazz, and a couple shots of pepper vodka, I don't see? 🙄 😆
@ Dizzy.Tired, well I suggest the good jazz you like, and maybe a couple shots of pepper vodka, then maybe sleep.:D
Well I'll come over to your place. We'll find some pepper vodka. 😆
Hope you feel more spirited soon, Edward.That is a huge difference in price on the smokes! No wonder you head into Idaho.:eyes::heart:
@ Star.You know i wouldn't mind living over there at all, I really like it, but I wouldn't have my very good doctors. 😦
There's always a trade-off Edward, isn't there? Wish we could realize all our desires, but guess not. Just don't understand why EVERYTHING has to be so difficult. Nothing is easy. And I really would appreciate easy for awhile.
