My number one rule of airplane travel is always take the first flight out in the morning. If you're on the first flight, the only way you can be delayed is if your flight is the fucked up one. If you fly any later, you're all held hostage to any screw-ups that might have happened earlier. But, since an early AM flight is always convenient for people who are dropping me off at the airport, I've lately experimented with later flights. Today, even though I only had to catch a shuttle from the hotel to the airport, I decided to stick with the later flight in order to carry the experiment forward. Turns out I should go back to earlier flights. I hope my next flights, to and from Florida, are OK.
The bad news is I didn't win enough money for a car while I was here. The worse news is that I lost a lot of money while NOT winning that jackpot. The slots were just dead to me. I couldn't get them to play with me even a little bit. The only luck I had was this morning, when I went downstairs to break a five-dollar bill so I could tip the shuttle driver. I put the five dollars into a penny machine, hit the maximum bet of one dollar (20 lines at five credits each) and thirteen bucks came back on the first pull. I pulled a few more times and left with fourteen dollars, my only real win of the weekend.
Oh well, it's just money, right? I already knew that I was going to have to start selling my possessions on ebay when I get back from Florida...
Talk to you again soon!
