"THE VEGAS RUN"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. Have you ever been to Las Vegas? There is nothing like the glittering lights, the casinos, the entertainment, the waitresses in short skirts, the free cocktails, and the ringing of the bells when someone hits a JACKPOT! If you've never been, you should go just once. It's a lot of fun. I know a couple who went recently, and according to them, their trip went something like this. We will call them Kathy and Thomas, and this is their VEGAS RUN:-----NOW KATHY AND THOMAS SAVED MONEY, FOR A WEEKEND OF ADVENTURE AND FUN---HOPPED A PLANE AND HEADED WEST TO TAKE ON THE VEGAS RUN---THEY COUNTED THE DAYS UNTIL TIME TO GO, BOTH COULD HARDLY WAIT---AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW WHEN THE DAY ARRIVED, THE STUPID AIRPLANE WAS LATE---THOMAS HAD CAUGHT A TOUCH OF THE FLU, AND WASN'T FEELING WELL---IN FACT WHEN HE GOT TO THE AIRPORT, HE FELT LIKE A BUCKET OF HELL---FINALLY THEY BOARDED THE BIG BIRD AND WERE OFF TO SEE THE SIGHTS---TWO HOURS LATER THEY ARRIVED IN VEGAS, HOME OF FLASHING NEON LIGHTS---THOMAS WAS FEELING BETTER, HE STILL HAD A LITTLE COUGH---BUT THE BLACKJACK TABLES WERE STINGY, AND THE SLOTS WEREN'T PAYING OFF---THEY VENTURED OVER TO ANOTHER TABLE, AND TRIED THE ROULETTE SCENE---BUT THE NUMBERS THEY PICKED WERE BAD ONES, ESPECIALLY BLACK SEVENTEEN---THOMAS WOULD WIN A LITTLE MONEY AND PUT IT IN A STACK---KATHY WOULD COME BY AND TAKE A FEW CHIPS, AND SHE WOULD GIVE IT ALL BACK---ALL IN ALL IT WAS A GOOD TRIP THOUGH THEY LOST A LITTLE DOUGH---IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THEY WERE GLAD THEY GOT TO GO---AFTER ALL IT'S THE FUN YOU HAVE EVEN THOUGH YOU SELDOM WIN---KATHY'S JOY WAS SEEING THOMAS HAPPY, IT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE HAD EVER BEEN---SO NOW THEY ARE BACK AT THE PONDEROSA, FOR AWHILE THEY WILL PLAY IT COOL---WORK AND REST AND RELAX AT HOME, LAYING IN THE KIDS SWIMMING POOL---THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING NEXT YEAR, AND I THINK THAT'S JUST FINE---THEY INVITED ANYONE TO GO ALONG, TWO TEXAS PAWPAW WILL BE FIRST IN LINE---SO SAVE UP YOUR DOLLARS FOR NEXT YEAR, YOU MIGHT DO SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER DONE---YOU MIGHT HIT THE "JACKPOT BONANZA", WHILE MAKING "THE VEGAS RUN":-----This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I will return.
