The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

By the way, I agree on the panic part.
This reminds me of every time the news comes on at noon here in Michigan that a snow storm is coming. I work in a grocery store and clock in at 11:30am. There is a panic run in the store like they wont have food in the house for week. The elderly are so worried about things that it's easy to panic them since the population is getting older by the day. While this bug is nothing to take lightly, this panic we are seeing will pass soon.

The same thing happens in Florida when we have a hurricane. The media gets everyone in a panic. We have a lot of new residents that have never been through one before. They clean all the bottled water from the shelves and all the plywood from Home Depot. More people are hurt in Florida nailing up their houses than by the storms. The funniest thing to come out in the past few years is the "Cone of Uncertainty". Makes me laugh just thinking about it.

I've lived in Florida for 70 years. Been through many hurricanes. Unless you live on the coast, you will be OK. A tree may fall on you, that's about it. The worst part of hurricanes in Florida is when you lose power and your air conditioning doesn't work. Tornado's are a different story. It's sad to see what happened in Nashville.

Then I’m gonna take my stuffed animals which I have sprayed with disinfectant spray and prop them on the console and rub the screen like it was my dogs belly and start Tapping the screen summoning all of the good spirits to bless my game with a royal flush

I had a cigar on my bank today. He sure cleaned up at the machine I abandoned! Really obnoxious man. He forgot his card, so I pulled it for my collection. He seemed bummed to see it missing upon his return. My machine rallied with a $200 BP quad Aces. Buh bye!

You collect other people's players cards when they are forgotten in machines? Classy.....

Yeah, classy as his cigar. All would remain unclaimed. They’re usually long gone. I figured that this tool would be lighting up a victory stogie somewhere. Hope he’s not infected!
