Overall, overall

First, checked in JHU is losing 6 - 1 to Navy.  In 2010, I watched Navy come back from a 5 goal deficit at home in Annapolis. They are doing it to JHU at Homewood. Crikey.

Played poker in three " groups " M calls them my leagues. Wed  / Thu  / Fri are 3 different groups. The Wed group is a winter league  ( see, league slipped in ) Fri is once a month.
The Thu game can be weekly. I'm down $ 100 for the week.
Apparently, Ontario Lottery and Gaming  ( OLG ) the prov agency for gambling is down way more , e.g. 100 million year over year over year b/c they've been sliding downward for four years. Of course, these are the dudes that want to build a "destination " casino in T.O. backed by MGM management etc. if the hype is true.
The Star ran an analysis provided by David Olive , who is the financial writer for the Star. Our OLG returns 2.7 % to charities and Derives 70 % of its revenues in casinos from slots. The number of under 45 year olds attending casinos is in steady decline.
U.S. data shows states would rather run their own gambling than lose patrons to neighbouring states.
Surprise, Vegas and Atlantic city are both losing visitors and money, AC by 37 %.
In Ontario the data shows that there are no new gamblers as in " been there , done that and don't necessarily want to try again ".
OLG may have saturated the gambling market and have no more wiggle room.
According to the Star, the demographic has the lowest income brackets as the best " bet " ( love it , best bet ) to gamble. As in this is where social assistance money goes.


The BBQ situation is more or less solved. The company is shipping the $ 70 - 90 part ( burner assembly ) for $ 16 postage, should be here soon.

Put corn gluten on the lawns at home and QMH. The Scotts product is anti-weed if you catch the weeds early in the season. I may have missed the window as they say. I'm thinking dandelion salad may be the best weed control program, that or a goat.
