Casino Friday Night
I was cleaning up at home, and Denise called to go to the casino. Thank god for co-dependents. We saw Anna the dealer, and we had a little chat between her downs about her hair and how she usually flat irons it for 45 minutes, and this was the first time I saw her with her naturally curly hair. That was about the highlight of the night. Except for the craps game, which they modified to make it a lot more exciting. Before they used two 6-deck shoes with the A-6 cards, and for each "roll", they'd just pull one card from each shoe. It was flairless, pre-determined (did anyone every ask to burn a card from just one of the shoes?), and only the true degenerates played the game. Tonight, it was much livelier, because they now deal it similar to Pai-Gow, where they put a 12-card deck (A-6) x2 into an auto-shuffler, and they burn the first 4 cards, then use the next two for the "roll". The dealer throws down the cards face up, very Pai-Gow-like. It's a great change for the game, and a little bit of genius went into the idea.
Anyways, I took off early while I was winning, and I left Denise even more up than me. We'll see if she ultimately cashed out ahead.
On the way home, I saw a car completely ablaze on the freeway. The only thing left was a little bit of frame. I didn't see any police or fire department. It was very strange, like Paris or something.

It's an older Canon PowerShot S110. I'm going to try and get a newer, lighter one with better low-light performance this weekend. The problem with camera phones are they don't have optical zoom, or good lenses. If I had the camera in my car, I would have pulled over on the shoulder and took a picture :)

Personally, I'd stop after wrapping it in a Chicago deep dish pizza, but that's just me.
