Poker game was good. Format was $30 buy in and rebuys for the first 2 hours. 14 people playing and the house was about 20 miles out of town. Didn’t have to rebuy myself and ended up in 6th place (?). Was happy the way I played in the beginning. Made a few mistakes at the final table and with the blind very high it cost me allot of chips.
Went for a ride sunday morning. Nobody on the roads and I was completely dependent on the navigator. When it lost lock between buildings, I was lost. Driving in town takes does take some getting used to. Many streets one way, bus/taxi only, or light rail and cars. Not all the corners have lights and you really have to pay attention. Got close to the rental agency and made a left onto 5th street. missed the sign that cars need to stay left. the right lane was the Light Rail Track. I could see the train headlight a few blocks behind me and I’m on the track with a red light in front of me. Luckily the light turned green before the train was close and I was able to make the left. The previous stop was close and it wasn’t a safety issue (i.e. I wasn’t going to get run over), but would have been embarrassing if the train had to stop to wait for me.
Monday it started to get cold and a couple friends from work (NJ) came into town for meetings. On my way back to the apartment, I walked into macy’s, through the skyway and got trapped. was closing time and they locked all the doors, including the one i came in. After running around the store, found a security office and a way out.
Woke up on Tuesday and it was -4 degrees. When the wind kicks up it’s frigid. The bank thermometer doesn’t show negative degrees, it was -4 when I took this picture.
