Twas the day before Christmas.
And talk about luck.
My buddy and his wife,
Just got a new truck!
But that's not the half of it!!!!!!!
First you should know that, in my
buddy's case. getting a new truck is
NOT very big news!
We used to think he got one every
time his ash tray filled. But he
doesn't smoke!
Chevrolet pick ups are, to him, something
like the "Energizer Bunny!" Except in his
case they just keep "coming and coming!"
And his latest came on Russian Christmas
Eve!
A celebration seemed in order so we
decided to go out for pizza.
But here's the thing. One of our favorite
pizza places is just outside Port Jervis, New
York!
I know! Some of you are thinking there are
plenty of good pizza joints a little closer than
that. But, heck, the new truck has to rack up
500 miles before it's officially "broken in". So,
we figured, why not get started!
Of course "break in rules" require somewhat
slower speeds than most people drive on the
Interstates. So we followed the rules and watched
as everything from old VW's to Double Tractor
Trailers whizzed by.
After dinner we made our traditional stop at
a "Dollar Store" near the restaurant.
Real "cheapies"...right?
Well if that's what you're thinking consider
the fact that our next stop, by unanimous
consent, was the "Mighty M Gaming Casino"
in Monticello, New York!
"Russian Christmas Eve" seemed like a
lucky day! And boy.....did that turn out to be
true!
With the fresh smell of a new car filling
his lungs my buddy hit the slots and came out
a winner!
His wife was at the right machine at the
right time and won a nice monetary prize
awarded every hour to some lucky player.
The Casino was a big winner too!
It won all the money my wife and I
put into the machines we were playing!
Next time I'm buying the truck!!!!!!!!
And so I exclaimed as we drove out
of sight........"How come you guys won all
the money tonight!"
Merry Russian Christmas and may all
your NEWS be good!
