I know after discovering airbnb years ago, I will never be in a hotel again. About the same rate and you get the whole place plus fridge kitchen etc.... the only bad part is you can't leave your room and walk down and play, you do have a drive to the casino.

Probably won't go though unless some covid miracle happens between now and then... hoping for the best for everyone!

My sons mom passed this morning from Covid she got at Thanksgiving. She was in her early 50s with no underlying health issues.
My uncle is also in the hospital with it from Christmas... Please get vaccinated people.
I've decided to pass on DCC again this year and maybe do Buffalos instead.

Yeah John, good choice I think. I was thinking about going, even though being in very close quarters with all of the people there (many, for sure, unvaccinated) was probably a bad idea. But I finally decided against it after a friend of mine that lives near Louisville told me that the Louisville area is a Covid/Omnicon hotspot right now, and sent me this article from Thursday's Louisville newspaper:

by how easily it spreads almost everyone will get it sooner or later. and everyone will be a spreader as well at some point in time.

so the only way someone that isnt vaccinated is protected is by isolation from all people. so their choice really is to get vaccinated and have good protection against serious complications, or dont and get the virus and take their chances.

My boosted stepdaughter just got it and she double masks when she leaves the house.

its so super contagious that its hard not to get it. and for many shots and masks only stall getting it.

but shots and masks do give enough protection to help it become just like a mild cold unless you are very unlucky or have big underlying conditions. that has been shown over and over.

its like most anything in life you take your own chances and suffer what the consequences leave you with. but you have to realize that your decisions may affect other loved ones if you are so hard headed just to think about yourself.

I'll be up there Friday morning for the banks. Leaving sometime Sunday unless I happen to still be in it. My days off are pretty limited this time of year.

I am getting there Monday near noon and leaving Wednesday afternoon. I am going for the Tuesday night One Ball One Pocket mini that starts at midnight, and will be doing commentary for Ray -- PoolactionTV.com -- who will be streaming it. Ray is adding a couple G I think, and the entry fee will not be the usual $25 -- I think he said more like $200, so it will be kind of a maxi not a mini lol. I am excited for it and am going to try to last until the very end in the wee wee hours :oops:

First year I’ll be watching on the stream in a long time instead of being there. Bummer but whaddya gonna do. Best of luck and have fun to all who are going! I’m hoping to get to Buffs to make up for this BS.

Anybody who I normally play cheap who wants to pretend we went, along with me, ship me 40 and we will call it a day. I will ship my normal losses as well to all you who rob me. You know who you are. 😂

Thanks for the offer but how about I send a little jelly instead.
