No big wins this Vegas trip, but I did get a couple little surprises.

We were playing Cleopatra Keno, just dimes.....we both hit 7 out of 7 numbers while on the bonus round and we cashed out with $1200 each.

Also during my last few minutes of play before leaving today to come home........I was playing Super Times Play Poker and I got a multipier of '8'. I then got four kings which normally pays 250 quarters, but it was multiplied X 8, so it was 2000 quarters. Nice hit!

A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo traditions include parades, mariachi music performances and street festivals in cities and towns across Mexico and the United States.

The biggest full moon of the year is due to arrive this weekend. The moon will officially become full Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT. And because this month's full moon coincides with the moon's perigee — its closest approach to Earth — it will also be the year's biggest.

We are presently in the May-Gray mode. Gloomy everyday at the coast 'til about 1-2 PM and then the sun comes out. Sometimes that grayness involves drizzle.

It will go into June-Gloom next month.........until summer bursts through in July!!
It actually makes working outdoors pleasant this time of year.....gardening, trimming, etc.

I always liked the seafood buffet at the Rio. It was a tad pricey but if it could be dragged from the ocean kicking and screaming they killed it and had it on that buffet.

How To Pick The Perfect Pineapple On Your Next Shopping Trip!

Forget 2 common misconceptions you’ve heard; pulling the crown leaves of the pineapple and judging by color are not accurate tests for ripeness. Remember that a perfectly ripe pineapple can be green, golden or anything in between.

You want to test for freshness instead! When you’re shopping, just look for crown leaves that are fresh and green. Then, sniff the pineapple! If it’s fragrant, that’s a good sign. You also want to select a pineapple that is symmetrical and heavy for its size.

Happy Pineapple Picking!
