We had a great time. We "took the cure" at the one remaining bath house still in operation and it was quite the experience. Women upstairs, men on the first floor, and modesty out the window. I was boiled like a lobster and kneaded like dough and was glad when it was over.<br />We had a great time.<br />Years before that I knew a guy who was a co-owner of horse named Northern Falls and he and his partners raced him at the race track. I was a complete bumbler. First off, I made the acquaintance of a group of nuns who were at the track and told him that I was betting the way they were which embarrassed him and his fellows in the jockey club.<br />Second and the worst offense was when it came time late in the day for Northern Falls to race. Northern Falls ran the race and finished second and he and the partners got mad at me because I was happy and elated and cheering for the horse. Then they got mad when they found out that I had bet on the horse to "show" (come in third) so I was getting my hundred bucks back and a handsome bonus. Everybody else bet on the horse to win so they didn't get anything. So I was pouted at the rest of the day.<br />I was never much of a gambler.<br />My friend has come around now and laughs with me on my betting with the nuns and my celebration with the horse coming in second.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984235648128966516.post-1748595025172845702017-08-10T10:32:15.450-05:002017-08-10T10:32:15.450-05:00This country has more interesting places than we c...This country has more interesting places than we can possibly visit in a lifetime.DrillerAA09https://www.blogger.com/profile/15970703268465061545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984235648128966516.post-16173622984335910672017-08-10T07:10:43.264-05:002017-08-10T07:10:43.264-05:00very interesting.
