BlackJack, Cubs and Floods...OH MY!

First off, my health is much better. I seem to have my blood pressure under control and no more headaches so things are going well on that front.

Susan and I spent last weekend in Miami to see a couple of Cubs games. We stayed at a hotel right by the stadium and Calder racetrack. The hotel was a two star, at best, and seeing that I am a hotel snob I can tell you we won't be staying there again. However, we did have a great view of the track. The balcony bordered the first turn and you could hear the horses stampeed by during the race. We did not attend the track during the day opting for the Hard Rock Casino instead. They now have table games, not just poker nad slots. I played blackjack of course. A near fight broke out at my table between the guy sitting next o me and a lady at the end of the table. She was playing like a 'boob' and it really pissed the guys off. The pit crew had to come break it up. It was worth losing just to witness the fight. He was a small hispanic guy about 5'5" weighing about 120. She was black weighing about 220...it was great. My money was on the 'boob' if it got physical but the casino crew was al over it, kicking the guy out. They have no sense of adventure.

The Cubs one the game of Friday but lost Saturday. My camera battery was wearing down so I couldn't take really good pictures but see below. Our seats were great! As a bonus it was Star Wars night...like it was meant for me to be there (geek alert, as Susan would say). We had a good time and a nice "dad break". Dad and Cindy bonded.  I think she gained five pounds in just the weekend. Lord knows hat he fed her. I suspect she feasted on chicken salad and lasagna...at leaset he didn't feed her chili this time...at least I don't think so.
 

We also survived tropical storm Faye which was quite a bit nastier than predicted and caused all kinds of flooding. The waters flooded my neighborhood but not my house, thankfully. See pics from my front yard. Kids were rafting in the streets. I wanted to play too but Susan said it would just look ridiculous. You think?! Kids get to have all the fun.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
