Morning/afternoon/evening folks.
Cool & wet out, typical WA weather.
Not a bad night here, cops were here for a short time, seems a couple was having a loud argument. Otherwise pretty quiet.
The restaurant closes it 12 sharp in Fri & Sat night, which I'm told the hotel appreciates because most folks that are going to keep drinking just move on to another location, so there isn't the 2AM crowd hanging around when all the bars close.
I'm basically in limbo until I get the certificate, called my Wife this morn, she wants to know why I can't fly home until it arrives then fly back out. Not really feasible due to costs, not to mention the wear & tear on my body.
Lady over at the restaurant I see a lot, always with a cocktail in her hand, came & sat with me out of the blue & started talking to me. She had a basket with about $200 worth of pull tabs in it. Says she plays about 400 or $500 a week. Asked her if she wins a lot that way, she says sometimes. They have at least 50+ versions of those games over there. Apparently they are quite popular with some folks around here.
I played a couple dollars worth, my luck was the usual, didn't win anything
Need to get something to eat before kick off, nearly forgot while watching the clock tick down haha....
The place is usually steady during the week but really kicks into high gear Saturday from morn till afternoon, saw a whole garbage can filled with pull tabs being taken out, guess Sat is play day.
