I descended into Dante's second ring...

Holy crap.

I went with the wife Christmas shopping yesterday. It is the first time I have been to the mall on a weekend during Christmas season in many years. I always take a day off during the week and do my shopping, when it is not too busy. Anyway, you could not even get into the mall. Not the building -- the parking lot. Cars were backed up just trying to turn in. The access road around the parking lots was so backed up there was nowhere for the incoming cars to go. I will not even talk about finding a place to park.

We did get a lot done. We have only a few little gifts for distant family members to do. I still have some stuff to get my wife.

While the spouse was in the candle store, a place I refuse to visit since the various smells make me nauseous, I found a vacant spot on a bench. Not long after, the biggest family I have ever seen tried to squeeze onto the bench opposite. Big as in size, not numbers. The old guy sitting next to me leaned over and whispered "We now know those benches are well built". Yes, I laughed. Out loud.

Big day for some football. The Colts put their undefeated team and a shot at history on the line against the Broncos. It should be fun.

I think I have reinstalled Blogger commenting correctly. I guess the Haloscan comments are lost to memory. I have them saved in a file, so if some genius figures out how to import them, please let me know.

Shoot me a comment so I know if it is working.

All right, I know the commenting is working, but I am a whore for comments. Help me out anyway, 'K?

So far this Christmas season, I've managed buy stuff in places other than malls. I think my luck might hold.

Comment #5 - My shopping is done, it's the wrap and pack and ship part that still sucks.

I've yet to step foot into a mall. Therefore, I rock.

Hey, how can I resist an honest man who asks for a comment? Like the beggar that has the sign "I'll just blow the money on beer." He, I'll give a dollar. So here you go:

Some of you are lucky to live in towns with real stores. In my little burg we can shop at WalMart or Big Lots. I am not exagerating.

Remember that online casinos can afford to do this because they simply do not have the overhead that their brick and mortar land-based counterparts have. Equally, there is no excuse for an online casino NOT to be honest for exactly the same reason. They can offer free casino chips AND be an honest online casino in circumstances where their physical equivalents would find the financial burden impossible.



8. He emailed again confirming his "play through requirements" and the terms and conditions of the wagering requirements for them to be considered "fair gaming". In addition to the play rhough requirement there are requirements for the maximum allowable bet per hand. In his case we averaged all three deposits and his maximum bet is $46 per hand.

- Understand the set-up of the game on the site you're visiting. Make sure you know what you're clicking and why. It can be very confusing with all the bells and whistles and buttons flashing at you. Know the function of anything you click. If you cannot navigate your way around the game properly, use support tools the site may offer.


First, never choose a casino on the sole basis of his ranking in the search engine results. They are not necessarily good rankings on how a casino. You must go through several online casino sites to compare the benefits in detail and then make a decision. For example, should offer a bonus and, if so, how much. Are there any special promotions available?



3. A whole lot of people visit traditional casinos and yet end up playing only the slot games because they are so simple and they stay away from the games that give the real thrills and spills. When you play on an online casino all the rules of all the games are bang in front of you, and all you have to do is read them and start playing whatever you like!

Everything about horse betting

The advent of simulcasting in the nineties made it possible for tracks to increase their own handle while boosting their revenues by accepting wagers on races from other tracks. Legalization of off-track betting facilities, phone wagering and internet wagering has created a climate where over 87% of the handle is now generated off-track. This may hurt race tracks' hot dog and popcorn sales, but should lead to increased profitability.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse betting[/url]
Another sad fact is that more than 400 in-racing horses die every year in the UK alone. They may die on the course itself, from injuries received in training or be killed by their owners - considered no longer commercially viable.


Perhaps the most important factor is the distance of these races, the Derby is a mile and a quarter (10 furlongs), the Preakness, a mile and three sixteenths (9.5 furlongs) and the Belmont at a mile and a half (12 furlongs) is the longest of the three. The horses that survive their attempt at the Triple Crown will seldom, if ever, compete at these distances again. And yes, survival is a consideration. Many Triple Crown hopefuls are never able to compete again after the Belmont, even potential superstars such as Smarty Jones in 2004.

[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]bet on the derby[/url]
Barbaro with Edgar Prado on board has won all 6 of his lifetime starts, 4 of his wins in 2006 and all at distances of a mile or more (his first 3 races were on the turf). Barbaro will be the odds on favorite for the Preakness. Gone are the double digit returns when we picked him for the Derby so most of us are left looking for horses to combine him with for the exacta, trifecta and superfecta wagers. Even though we want to see him win, at the probable scant return for a win, one must look to see if there's a horse in the field that can best him.
