Timing is everything

True - of course, last night at cards , I folded 2 hands that were winners, dominating  ( they love that word ' dominate ' on World Poker Tour , in fact, they don't know many synonyms other than ' dominate ', how about  ' statistically favoured  ') as it turns out. I called twice,  based on the fact that I didn't trust the other guy and won.

I beat 3 guys all in and forced them out of the game. On the last hand, I held ' Q - 3 ' , yep a powerhouse. The two others left at the table went all in. I was leading ( we only pay the top 2, 85 % - 15 % ), I had to choose and went all in too !. The flop was ' 3 - 3 - 9 ' and finished ' J - J '. I probably was guaranteed 2 nd anyway but had to win to be first.  Timing. Who knew ?

Weatherboy is confused, we all are confused. Rain / sleet / snow w/ avalanches tumbling off the steel roof. A Winter Wonder ? land.
We are supposed to get 45 - 55 F after that.

Casinos.  T.O. is angling for a casino. The city wants a favourable profit sharing arrangement w/ Ont lottery and Gaming. The city wants the casino built on city land. The central location is critical to planning. I mean lets keep the crime downtown, where it belongs.

Nobody else is seeing it T.O. s way. Go figure

Peterborough wants a downtown casino. They have this mall thats mostly empty pretending to be retail hub, its got a theatre, thats about it, and Oh, a dollar store, big whoop.
The closest casinos are converted racetracks, called ' Downs ' which is where your bank account  is headed if you tend to visit a lot.
Of course, going to the ' downs ' on the Fri. of the month is bad b/c all the pensioners show up to cash their cheques.  Welfare types are there every second Fri.

In New Jersey, I realize that they pave the way to the poorhouse, called the Atlantic City Xprssway  or some such, all the way to casino East coast,  USA.

In T.O., the main users of taxi-cabs are business execs and the people on Welfare or social  ' something '. Telling that, you think ?
