I'm not a gambling man.
I have, on occasion, gone to Las Vegas as a tourist. But not as a person who needs to sit in front of a machine for hours hoping for a jackpot.
I learned a long time ago that gambling was not for me especially since I don't have any kind of poker face. And what is that old adage? "If you can't spot the sucker sitting at the table in the first five minutes, then you are the sucker."
But what if you had a day like I had? What if you felt really lucky?
It all started when I was driving down one of the busiest streets in town. Schools were just letting out, I was about five miles away from the freeway I was trying to connect to, and there were eight red lights in my way.
I just finished working and like everyone else, I wanted to get home. I put on some tunes and started my journey.
I mostly stayed in my lane but since parts of the road has six lanes, three on each side, I did maneuver back and forth to a lane I thought would be the fastest.
I passed three lights, as they were green, remembering the song by the Rolling Stones called "Far Away Eyes." (Listen to it)
Then I made it through three more without stopping.
I was smiling by now!
I thought, wouldn't it be nice. And it was. I made the last two lights on the busiest part of the street, onto the freeway, on my way home without stopping.
What usually can take up to a hour to get home took me thirty minutes.
I felt so lucky I stopped at the local convenience store and spent $10 on lottery tickets!
And I Won!
I won $2

And
“Play interests me very much," said Hermann: "but I am not in the
position to sacrifice the necessary in the hope of winning the
superfluous.”
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
