It's been. Well, it's been the longest time ever. I haven't been playing much; just a few hours here and there mostly on the weekends. And it's gone kind of good actually, but I don't know I'm up against the same things I was always up against. It takes like an hour to get into a game and once I do get into one it's full of jerkelfaces and the money somehow bothers me more now than it used to (even though I'm effectively infinitely rolled now) so I end up playing so small it's maybe not even worth it in fact it can't be to play for 3 hours when you add an hour on each end and 60 miles of driving and well yeah.
But you know what I saw today? I saw some crazy shit. First of all on my way to the gym at lunch I saw a Cleveland Browns vanity plate. Definitely a life time first for me. But that's not what I want to talk about. When I got to the gym which is at a mall I saw, and I am not making this up, a woman cleaning the fire hydrant in the middle of the outdoor mall. She wasn't doing maintenance. She wasn't testing it or anything like that. She had a rag and she was wiping it down, making sure it looks nice for all the good little money spenders going out to spend their pay checks.
For some reason it just made me want to cry. I mean, really....is that where I live? A place where we need clean fire hydrants? Someone is paid to dust off the fire hydrant so that when I walk past it on my way to the gym it, what, shines a little brighter? It just honestly made me feel truly awful. I don't know what else to say about it.
PS - I don't know who is out there still clicking on ads, but Google shipped me my third $100 (American) payment. Not bad for 750 posts that's like....40 cents a post or something!
