Casinos, Broken Arms and More

I know I have blogged about this before, but I swear some days have a 'theme' to them. For instance, on the day we were on our way home from Deadwood, SD, I saw at least two people with their arms in casts/slings. The first one was at the Hampton Hotel we stayed at. We took advantage of their 'continental' breakfast and noticed there was a a guy standing by the food line with his arm in a cast/sling. I kinda wondered why he was standing there watching us, altho I suppose what else can he do with only one good arm? However, it was a good diet reinforcement, as I felt guilty for grabbing two mini boxes of fruit loops versus one and a yogurt. A very small yogurt I might add *sniffle*

The other broken arm dude was seen somewhere on the way home to KC standing on a street corner. Needless to say, this made me wonder also - as we had to stop at the light so he had ample opportunity to cross the street at that time. However, he stayed put and stayed there looking rather forlorn. So I stared at him while we drove past and wondered what da heck was happening to people that I would see 2 people with broken arms in one day.

The day before this, I swear all I saw where billboards advertising for casinos. These casinos were not just plain ole casinos either. They included many other things like gas stations and restuarants. I began to wonder if there was *not* a place in South Dakota that they would not attach a casino to. I came up with a few more they could use (if they havent already!):

Coffee Shops
Rest Stops
Car Dealerships
Dave and Busters
Cabelas
Harley Dealerships

Ya never know, if someone wins a little on the slot machines, they may feel more likely to spend it in the store lol

I did know the 'vacation' was over when I made a couple of comments that made my husband say 'shut up cartman', cuz I sounded like a South Park character. While the reader may think this is just playful banter and not the end of the vacation, let me inform the reader that it was in regards to my 2nd degree sunburn acquired during our latest vacation trip to husband's destination of choice =)

So anyway! I have decided our destination in December for our 5 year anniversary is gonna be all about relaxin' and doting on me lol

Best billboard I ever saw was in Missouri, advertising the Testicle Festival. "You'll have a ball!" Maybe you could go there for your anniversary? You'd be nuts to miss it.
