Things are looking up

Today was my last appointment at the eye doctor.  There was a little mixup since the doctor who examined me said I should come back in two weeks and get the stitches removed.  What?  When I told him we were leaving on Saturday he said I could wait until November to get them removed.  I continued to question him and he finally checked my chart and asked when the procedure had taken place.  Two weeks ago said I...  Ooops.  He had misread the date and immediately removed the stitches.  Now I am good to go.

Since my luck was running so good we decided to head for the Desert Diamond Casino for a little gambling.  I got a parking spot in the first row right in front of the entrance.  So far, so good.  I put $3 in a 2 cent machine and played for quite a while and finally lost it all.  Later I put $20 into another machine and wound up winning $23.  Broke even so I am happy.

Gerry wasn't as fortunate and left behind a few dollars for the local Indian tribe.  She did have a good time and was ahead for a long time and then started loosing her money slowly but steadily.  She likes to win, but enjoys playing the slots even though she isn't winning.  I play to win and if I'm not winning, then it isn't fun.

We drove by the Pima Air Museum on the way home and Gerry snapped off a few photos of the planes outside.  They must have at least a hundred old planes from WWII fighters and bombers up to fairly recent planes.  They have 3-4 Air Force One planes used by previous US Presidents and you can tour one of them.  We didn't go through the museum because it was getting late, but if we come back next season, we will tour the place again.

The next stop on our journey today was to the local Fry's grocery store for a few things.  Gerry ran in and I guarded the car as usual.  While I was sitting there I got to thinking about all those emails with pictures of people in Wal Mart.  Way out stuff.  Then, much to my surprise a Wal Mart shopper appeared in front of me in the parking lot.  I tried to tell him it wasn't Wal Mart, but he couldn't hear me because of all the loud music.  Times are a changin'!!

He just hiked up his pants to go in store.

That was our day, how was yours?
