It started on my vacation. Come back to our hotel last Sunday and there is a note in the room. No electricity for 8 hours from 12-8 . No water no nothing. We say screw it and call the next hotel we were going to stay at and book a room for that night and have to move at 10pm. The next morning, we read there was a fire in the hotel and everyone was evacuated to a local high school!
So, it's a good thing we moved! Then the heater/cooling fan on my new car goes haywire. Have to take car to a local dealer to fix. They have to order parts and we have to bring it back later. At least they provided us with a loaner car. Then, my wife says she wants to visit the Supreme Court. We get there and are caught in the pro-anti gay marriage protests. One one side of me some guy dressed like a devil woman is dancing wearing a rainbow tutu and a fishnet top. On the other side of me are nuns kneeling in prayer. I get home late Saturday evening to find that my hot water heater burst and flooded the basement.. There goes all my carpeting, baseboard and quarter round, along with a few doors. At least the insurance will pay the cost of the clean up and to replace the stuff. (minus the deductable, of course.
Yesterday, i played cards at a buddy's house that is 12 minutes from Maywood Park. So I decide to take in the races. Get to the last race and I'm down maybe $12, not bad. I put my voucher in the machine and then my winning ticket from the last race. The ticket gets stuck in the machine and I can't play anything. This is with maybe 3 minutes to post. The only workers around are the tellers on the other side of the grandstand. The service button doesn't work. The race goes off and I walk across the grandstand to tell the tellers to call the tote guys. I get my voucher and ticket back , but the race is over! I would have won about $750!! So I go home down $12. :'( :'( :'(
