I don't get off the farm much...I enjoy my own backyard...and my own company...but last Friday my girlfriend and I decided to take a field trip...travelling the back roads of Western Maine...a bit of combined plant shopping with thrifting...
I became intrigued however, when we came upon this parking lot...a casino parking lot...yes, we now have a casino in western Maine...At ten o'clock in the morning the lot was full. I, being the curious sort wanted to see for myself who the gambling cliental might be... especially at such an early hour...WOW...this place was hopping...loud...bright and full of energy...I've never been inside an establishment such as this before...the fever appeared to be quite contagious...my friend and I walked around taking in the sights and sounds and it soon became apparent this gambling was serious business...
The vast majority of people were the older population and the remainder young adults...we sat ourselves down and gave the one armed bandit a run for it's money...okay...I am not a gambler, but I admit I lost three whole dollars...I quit...my girlfriend on the other hand won a total of twenty dollars, but how quickly that one armed bandit regained it's loss...I was so absorbed in watching her win..lights flashing...music... it took me a minute to realize that someone was giving me a neck massage...I quickly turned to see who this person could be...I looked right into the eyes of an elderly gentlemen..."OH... I AM SO SORRY, said he... I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY WIFE" Oh, my friend had a good laugh over this one....we quickly departed... spending a total of twenty minutes in the place...I soon realized I am much better off staying in my own backyard...keeping myself out of trouble...but, you know... I keep wondering what that gentlemen's wife looked like...do I have a twin? do I look older than my age? or possibly was he someone's SUGAR DADDY? My bet is on the sugar daddy!
