Yeah. That’s why I’m always pressing hard for a morning win. I always seem to crawl away like a grateful mongrel. Once I hit 2 PM, I’m breaking even at best. If I ever win in AM, I’m shouting “Amen!”

I just saw “A Working Man” starring Jason Statham. A biker bar, Hattie’s in Joliet, is prominently featured. Avoid it if it exists; highly dangerous establishment.

Um, I understand that this movie is so bad that when it is playing in the theatres, even the rats don't come out to scurry around eating the popcorn droppings from the floor while the movie is on the screen. It gives them indigestion. As for my unsolicited support for the Joliet Chamber of Commerce, the bar depicted in the movie, doesn't exist in Joliet. But, there are biker bars located everywhere across the US. I used to know a biker bar near me that had Schwinn's parked all over the place, some days you could barely get by on the sidewalk.

Stopped for a quick beer or 2 in several Biker Bars over the years. If you act normal and like you belong there you never have a problem. At least I never have.

Understood. It was an intimate screening for ten entertainment starved souls. It was overall a poor film. Sylvester Stallone’s screenwriting prowess has plunged since Rocky. But the abundance of action kept it lively.
