Traffic Accident

Not too much to report today...with the one exception below.

I played 18 holes at a cow pasture course on the Arizona side of the river today. It was a completely nondescript course as was my round. But fun nonetheless. The weather was beautiful and I hatched a few more freckles.

Last night I was having a glass of wine at a bar in the casino when I witnessed the most amazing vehicular mishap I have ever seen. A kindly looking 70 or 80 something woman T boned a 50 something LARGE woman who happened to come around a bank of one-armed bandits at the precise moment grandma came cruising by in her Little Rascal (or somesuch).

The LARGE lady, upon impact, fell back against the bank of slot machines and commenced to wail loudly. The casino staff were there in an instant. I believe a staff attorney may have been the first on the scene.

Grandma was most apologetic - and seemed sober - although there is no doubt in MY mind that her attempt to carry a drink in one hand with a cigarette in the other while navigating the confines of the casino floor was a contributing factor to the mishap.

Given the lack of traffic signalization on the casino floor, it is difficult to assign responsibility in these circumstances. In any event, when I left the scene it appeared that the staff were busy appeasing the LARGE lady by offering her a variety of compensatory packages including, I believe, a free room. At that point I made a discreet exit.

I am tempted to try this scam myself. There are lots of Little Rascals on the casino floor these days.
