Is it large with possible good new player promotion
The casinos in Montana are tiny due to some law.
No promotions
Gambling bores me. No interest unless there is an edge
Last real gambling I did was Red Rocks Vegas, video poker because the sequential royal was massive.


Northern Quest Casino is west of town maybe 10 miles at the most. It is quite large, 37 table games and lots of slots not sure how many.

If you stop at every nearby casino and only gamble off their new player promotion, you can supplement your travels. Unless you put it back in with more or your own money.

I'm fine
Don't need the money
Its just if I'm gonna play, I want an advantage
Then its more fun to gamble
Without advantage, gambling seems pointless against a casino
I do enjoy poker but due to the virus, have not played in years.

For something a little different, consider driving to Anacortes, Wa. and catching a ferry to one of the San Juan islands.

If you aren't pressed for time, consider checking out Hurricane Ridge in the heart of the Olympic mtns.

When in Oregon, lunch in the main dining room of Timberline Lodge, a 6000 feet up on Mt. Hood.

For a touch of that old Portland weirdness, catch a meal and or a tasty beverage at McMenamins Edgefield.

Florida diner that posted note refusing service to Biden voters because of his botched Afghan withdrawal is forced to close after it SOLD OUT of food following a boom in customers

I quote part:

Quote:
The Florida diner where the owner posted a sign turning away Joe Biden voters after 13 US troops were killed in Afghanistan has had to shut its doors - because so many people called to buy meals for veterans that the small business ran out of food.

'I've gotten so many people calling me from all over the world, from Europe, trying to purchase meals for veterans, which I still haven't been able to organize,' said Angie Ugarte, who posted the sign in the window of the DeBary Diner in the central Florida city of DeBary.

Currently chilling out in Sandpoint ID. Really wonderful town. Surprised how many upscale art stores.

CNN: South Carolina attorney shot in the head 3 months after his wife and son were killed.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/05/us/alex-murdaugh-south-carolina-attorney-shot/index.html

Is this case bizarre or what
Last month his son and wife were executed by their dog kennel on their mansion.
Different weapons.
Thats weird
Son was pretty hated. Drove a boat drunk and crashed. Teen passenger died.
Their maid died under weird circumstances
And now
He has a flat out in the middle of nowhere
Somebody shoots at him
8 shots
He's grazed in the head
WTF. Did he shoot himself for sympathy???????
Now he's fired and going into rehab
STRANGE
