Well, I ended up 4th place - which breaks a long total losing streak. I feel like I played pretty well and I made some good reads, but I was disappointed that nobody (except MaskdBandt) would fall for my bluffs. This is probably because it was a free game and people like to call. It really is a different game from a cash game.

Well I feel really bad for the people on the gulf coast and I really would like to gamble this weekend - since there should be a lot of suckers at Atlantic City (AC ( Read more... )

This weekend I was thinking of visiting various historical places from the revolutionary war and the war of 1812. 3 come to mind right now:

Every 5000 miles I get screwed either at the Toyota Dealer in MD or the Jiffy Lube here in Arlington - Although I like to complain about it, I still come back like clockwork.

Can't decide if I want to go ahead and rent, or perhaps I can wait a couple of months and I should be able to buy an airplane. I guess the thought is to buy an airplane and finish getting my ratings and then perhaps selling the airplane.
