Howdy!

Howdy!

Well, my lovely wife and I just got back from a very nice breakfast at the "Egg Connection". The food was as good as ever. 

We got to sign a farewell card for Debbie who is leaving to retire in a few days. We also got say Happy Birthday to Jeff and receive some of his birthday cake.

Elise is caring for Chris. I just finished up some yard work behind Chris's house and I plugged up the area that Houdini (Lambchop) used to escape out of the yard. She is way too smart for a fur-baby!

Well, I finally got to talk to the CEO of Casino Del Sol. I explained what happened at the casino and she apologized for it ever happening. She told me that they have been having in the High Limit Area were we were to other evening. They have had pan-handlers coming into that area and causing problems. I made it known that I am not a panhandler.

So here is the whole story:

We were in the High Limit Area and we started to play the slots in an area where there was nobody playing the slots. I pulled my chair out to sit down to play and I looked down and I saw a $100.00 bill on the floor. I picked it up and I handed it to Elise to hold on to. We stayed in the High Limit Area for about 45 minutes playing various slots and waiting for someone to claim the money. Nobody did.

Next thing I know I was approached buy two security guards asking me if I picked up a $100.00 bill off of the floor and I said yes without hesitation. I asked is there a problem? I was told that I was a thief to my face and I kept my cool but I was furious. They asked for the money and I gave it to them. They told me that I was banned from the casino for 30 days for theft. I was beside myself. I asked who is going to get the $100.00 bill they refused to answer the question. I also said that if your security was so grand, why didn't you see the money being dropped? I said that you should have been on it and gave the money back the whomever dropped it. Again no answer. I then told them that I was not leaving the casino because I have dinner reservations at PY Steakhouse. So Elise, Dottie and I left for the Steakhouse for dinner. I did not tell them that is was going to contact the CEO. For all I know the  security people kept the money for themselves.

I told this story to the CEO and she apologized and that she will have the ban lifted on Monday and I would be receiving a letter in the mail. She also offered stays and dinner tickets for all of the trouble. I declined the offer. I just wanted her to be aware of what has been going on, because she would have never known about this at all. To which she stated. I am pleased with the outcome because persistence always pays off in the long run. Lucky I didn't have my Drill Sgt's hat on because it would have been a whole different ball-game. OOHRAH! Maggots!

Nuff said, but Jim Crow is alive and well in Casino Del Sol for sure. I always observe everything.

Elise and I are going to the "Loft" this evening to see the movie "Dear White People". It got great reviews and the previews were hilarious. We are also starting to pack for our cruise to Mexico that begins on 30 Nov 14.
