One-Armed Bandits

Yes, that's right. . . we are at another casino. . . heh, heh, heh. Left Beaumont yesterday and drove about 100 miles to Kinder, Louisiana. We are camped at the RV Resort at the Coushatta Indian Casino just north of town. The campgrounds affiliated with casinos are for the most part very nice. They are spacious, full hookups with all the amenities, nice facilities and usually a very good value. They hope, of course, that you will go spend all your money at the casino. But that doesn't happen with us.

We set up camp yesterday around noon and just hung around here, getting a walk in and letting the dogs out to get some air. The only problem has been the weather. WHERE IS THIS COLD COMING FROM? Ever since we left Victoria, the weather has turned cold. Had to have the furnaces on. Last night we put the boyz in the bathroom, so we only had to run one furnace. They don't mind. It's nice and cozy that way. It did rain yesterday too, which made it cold and wet, but we have seen so little rain, we weren't really upset about it.

Today dawned cold again, but not wet. Even the grass was dry when we got up. We had breakfast and took our time getting ready to go to the casino. We left just before lunch. We spent several hours there. We didn't win too much. In fact, we were in danger of losing our entire $20 we allot ourselves, so we decided to take in their buffet. After dinner, we hit some machines on the way out; and, as luck would have it, Terry had a hot machine. He won back $20, so it was about a break even day. I figure we had about 4 hours of free (or near free) entertainment. Not bad.

We will be here till Saturday then we are going to travel to Zachary, Louisiana, and drop in on Terry's cousin, Gary and his wife Jo. We saw them in the fall and will stop for a night or two to say hello.

Till next time. . .
