Has anyone ever played over here on either of the riverboats? Looks like all they have is video poker. Without B or Dave dealing even a decent casino wouldn't have been the same. Plus, Gus's sister wouldn't be there. Anyone for a Rounder general assembly meeting out in a public park somewhere? I haven't been in a demonstration since 1969 when we marched on Washington. I sure could use a couple of those Big Texas cinnamon rolls from the venue down near Walnut Hill. Even the spaghetti from the other place would taste good. Sounds like "The Sopranos"..."Hey, you know 'that thing' we were talking about...yeah...well the guy we know did that thing you said you needed...at that place...yeah...it's the thing...you know...okay."

Maybe outside Dallas county would be better. If anyone hears of a 1/2 game that's not in OK, tell me!!! Hopefully the boys will regroup soon and get something going again.

I've joined up with the PAC in Austin and encourage others to donate as well as visit the website (DanM has the link on his home page)...reliable source from high up told me that the driving force behind the raid(s) was not casino competition, not Al Qaeda, but in fact the moral majority and the religious right putting pressure on DPD to stamp out sin. There is a political race for DA (District Attorney)...Never mind crack, heroin, child abuse, drunk drivers, urban violence, etc etc etc. BIG QUESTION: IF ONE OF OUR ROUNDER DEALERS GOT HAULED IN, AS WAS POSTED, IS ANYONE HELPING THEM OUT? THESE ARE NOT PEOPLE WHO HAVE A LOT OF DOUGH TO HIRE A LAWYER...People rag on our dealers sometimes, but I have to say that by and large these folks have done a great job. I miss seeing you guys and hope that we can soon exercise our right of freedom of assembly as well as our rights with regard to pursuit of happiness...

Now I wake up @ 3:00 am wondering where my middle of the night grilled cheese sandwich is. My cravings for hanging out with my friends while trying to take all their money are about as bad as my day 5 of quitting smoking. Maybe I chose a bad time to quit? Seriously though, are there ANY 1/2 games left in town? The only ones that I know of are bigger games that I don't want to play.

But I will do some checking and see what we can find out. My gut instinct is to doubt it, simply because there is no TV show called "Addison SWAT."
