I’ve gone to the racetrack couple of times, and it’s fun to bet on the horses with the weirdest names.

Back in the day when I was a computer operator, I worked mids almost all the time. Went on a 6 month spree of going to the racetrack 2 or 3 times a week. I didn't gamble much money usually but always enjoyed watching people from the high rollers to the degenerates. Friend of mine was a trainer up in Charlestown, he called me one morning and said his horse was a lock tonight with great odds, drove up to Charlestown that evening, put $100 on the nose and the horse came in at 15.5 to 1. Needless to say I called into work sick that night..
I do like the races but I never bet. I just root for a horse I like.
When I hand over money, I want to get something in a bag in exchange.

I use to like going to the dog track when I was in south FL, my dog actually died going around the track. He was a very long shot.
You can get a medical card for that now and visit a nice clean store for your prescription.

Wife and I went to Charles Town last Friday night. The horses were against us. Dark Night, Pretty in Pink, IGotNothing - yup cool names but they didn’t pay the gas money to get there.
Yes, there are usually plants in my bag when I hand over money, but most often those plants are tomatoes, broccoli, FLOWERS.You can get a medical card for that now and visit a nice clean store for your prescription.
None of that stinky stuff for me.
Just spent 3 days in OC. Smelled lots of skunk, saw none dead in the middle of the road.
Liz Cheney proclaims DeSantis ‘unfit for office’ for J6 comments. What is wrong with this woman?
January 8, 2024 | Tom Tillison | Print Article
Appearing on Face the Nation, Cheney was asked about DeSantis suggesting that as president he would look at the January 6 defendants on a case-by-case basis and consider pardons in response to concerns about the “weaponization” of government and the rejected ex-congresswoman responded by declaring the governor “unfit for office.”
“We have other Republican candidates for president like Ron DeSantis who have said they are open to reviewing the cases against these defendants and considering pardons for them,” CBS anchor Margaret Brennan said in setting up the media’s resident expert on January 6.
“Look, the president has pardon power and pardon authority — I think that it’s a very important piece that people ought to consider when they’re thinking about for whom they’re going to vote,” Cheney responded. “Someone who says that they would pardon individuals who assaulted the Capitol, who attempted to stop a constitutional process, who assaulted police officers – I mean, it was a bloody battle.”
“I had police officers, one, tell me that it was – it was like medieval hand-to-hand combat. The notion that the Republican Party would continue its efforts to whitewash that day, when the peaceful transition of power is at the core of the survival of our republic tells you that they’re unfit for office,” she added.
Trump doubles down on call for Liz Cheney to be prosecuted
Trump, on Truth Social on Sunday, posted a piece from former Trump administration aide Kash Patel published in The Federalist last week, in which Patel claimed Cheney and the House Jan. 6 committee “suppressed evidence” about the former president’s authorization of National Guard troops during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection.
“SHE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO OUR COUNTRY! SHE ILLEGALLY DESTROYED THE EVIDENCE. UNREAL!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social while linking to Patel’s piece.
Cheney clapped back Sunday at Trump’s calls for her to be jailed on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, writing, “Hi Donald: you know these are lies. You have had all the grand jury & J6 transcripts for many months. You’re trying to halt your 1/6 trial because your VP, WH counsel, WH aides, campaign & DOJ officials etc. will testify against you. You’re afraid of the truth and you should be.”

If you're a Democrat and you want to make a name for yourself - all you really need to do is make yourself available to the press - and for them to like you. The press loves AOC - Steny, not so much, nor ever, actually.
If you're a Republican and you want to make a name for yourself - you either become a firebrand and say outrageous things and gain the total hatred of the press -
Or you sell out the party. The media *LOVES* Republicans who turn on their party and throw shade at them.
One option requires a tough skin and a small bit of courage - the other usually for insecure wimps whose moms didn't love them enough.

I'll sometimes bet on a horse, but mostly I like to watch the horses run.
