What a horrible day off this is starting out to be

[LVGaryD]

FIrst off, back is killing me and I can't fire up some herbal medication because I need to drive to California to buy lottery tickets for our lottery team at work.

Then this afternoon I have a dentist appointment for what is supposed to be routine cleaning. Somehow I know this means more dental appointments to fix anything that is wrong.

Finally, our lying p.o.s. President Obama is coming to Las Vegas today to totally f**k up our traffic, and yes, he will be near my beautiful dentist's office to make a speech 30 minutes after my scheduled cleaning. This means I will have to find a back way to and from the dentist office due to street closings. WTF!!!!!

Sounds like Pain, Pain, and a Bigger Pain, Gary.

Kinda funny that he's in Vegas pitching a jobs bill, when at the start of his reign he twice told high-earners to keep their ass out of Vegas.

[LVGaryD]

I'm sure Mr. Obama has change in mind for us, but why must I change my streets just because he's here? Keep in mind that I also complained loudly when George W. was in town. Took me an hour and a half to get home from work...usually ten minute drive.

I got stuck at a RR crossing for an hour once when Veep Al Gore was coming to town. Sat there about 40 minutes, then his motorcade flys by at 80mph. They made us set there for another 20 minutes after. I asked an officer in SWAT gear how much longer he thought it would be, and he asked me if I wanted to go to jail immediately. I quietly went back to my car.

At least Slick Willie had the decency to come to Las Vegas late at night. How many of us ever thought we'd see the day when we wished Slick Willie was still in office???

The only president Ryan and I have seen in person was George H.W. Bush, and that was here in Las Vegas.

He actually waved to Ryan, and it was a once in a lifetime moment. If Obama waves at me I will flip him the bird.

Slick Willie came here once. When he got ready to leave, Air Force 1 was taxying out to the runway and the pilot got off the tarmac and buried it in the mud. BOY that screwed things up! They had to wait for a back-up plane and the Secret Service was having fits.

I saw Airforce 1 within the past year as it was landing in Cleveland Hopkins Airport and was glad that I wasn't going the way the freeway was blocked off.

So you can't use drugs because of your gambling problem?

If you did crack you wouldn't have teeth to clean or a car to drive.

I think I found the answer to your problem.

Gary, before you sit down in the dentist chair, make sure you have "unchecked" the box on the back of your license that allows the government to redistribute the gold in your fillings.

Just finished 18 holes of golf in Chesterton, IN and now headed to the casino in MI. Beautiful sunny day and 62 out.  Only president I saw in person  was Jimmy Carter. Who would have thought I'd live to see a president who was worse than him!

Happy to tell you that Mr. Obama had no impact on my travels today. I drove to the California border this morning to buy lottery tickets for our shift at work. Then drove back to Las Vegas, sat around here for 20 minutes, then drove to the dentist's office at 1:10. Obama was supposed to speak very close to her office at 2:30-I figured traffic would be a mess.

Actually got to my dental appointment in less time than normal and as luck would have it, they had a cancellation and got me in early at 1:45. I was xrayed, cleaned like it was a deep cleaning except with no shots, then screened for cavities and oral cancer by my gorgeous dentist, Dr. Tran. Took me an hour and a half to get finished!

She insisted on personally walking me up to the front of the office and gave me a hug and told me she really looks forward to my visits (I make her entire staff laugh because of my dental-phobia!). I had not been to a dentist for 18 years when I went to see her in December. Now I've  been there 6 times since December.  At least she got everything cleaned, drilled, and filled, so I don't go back till Feb. 27, 2012. 

Then went to Arizona for Powerball tickets and drove up to Pamela's house. She said she was making one of my favorite dishes in the crockpot and invited me to stay for dinner, but I left after we got the work done she needed help with.

Total mileage for the day: 238. No problems with anything I was worried about.
