In the Jasper, IN area, we do not see flooding that much.  All of our flooding is in limited areas.  But I work in French Lick over in Orange County of Indiana.  More specifically, I work at the casino there.  Fortunately the casino and hotel were far from the rising water level, but the parking lot got mostly underwater, except for the parking ( Read more... )

As fragile objects and people may be, some objects and we people can take some physical punishment and still be perfectly fine.

It has become a theme around the end of winter to have a small period of warmth before the final winter storm.  And Friday night, the snow was enough to send me off the road.  Typically, I go off on straight roads more than ( Read more... )

Every now and then, I find that my caffeine levels may be too high when adding more does not do anything.  In response, I take a few weeks to reduce the caffeine by getting caffeine free Mountain Dew and sodas with low or no caffeine.  The headache is inevitable, but I know I can sleep through those.  The unfortunate part is starting the withdrawal ( Read more... )

Well, my timing is guided by fate.  Right when I think the worst is over more will come very soon.  Although, the snow over night was not that bad.  It does not show any severity, but it may cause some panic and troubles for the reckless.

The ice of the last storm is nearly all gone, but with Indiana weather it may not be the last.  Although instinctively, I believe the last of the major winter storms have passed, and the rest will be weakened by the coming Spring.  As much as instincts are guesses, they have higher chances to be right than a random guess, which is why you should ( Read more... )

When opportunity knocks, maybe I should answer.  As far as my opportunities, I have 2 current ones that take me out of counting money and into more computer based jobs.  The third unofficial opportunity involves promoting a current cage supervisor leaving that position open.  Although my current record may not be favorable for promotions in Casino ( Read more... )

Well, the snow and ice strikes again.  And this time it is worse than previous attempts, but it was still drivable.  I happen to be the crazy one who would brave the harsh weather to show up to work as scheduled.  Well, I put faith in the road crews to get the roads clean of the terrible ice, in which they did a good job, again ( Read more... )

The Super Bowl party is over, and we are over joyed with the results.  As for myself, I am happy no one recognized that it was my birthday.  The real gift that I prefer on my birthday is no one caring ( Read more... )

From the day I moved into my friend's house to a couple weeks ago, I slept on an air mattress.  I stopped sleeping on it since it strung a leak.  I found that sleeping on a leaking air mattress is a bad thing since my right arm had a temporarily pinched nerve in the shoulder that brought pain in a line coursing to my index finger.  Yesterday, my ( Read more... )

I am attracted to debates, arguments, and trouble.  My mind loves to solve problems.  When I was young, those were math problems.  But today, I look at understanding the problems with the world only using my life experiences.  I also look into problems with myself and comprehend what is wrong there.  Why else do I love games, stories, and puzzles ( Read more... )
