In your daily life, is there anything that hurts as much as getting your Qs full cracked by Ks full on the damn river? I love poker but that will make me shut down quicker than you can say boo.

Well, I’ve had my share of suckout wins, but that was one masterfully played hand, and to have that two-outer hit you twixt the eyebrows is just demoralizing.

So, to pick myself up, I downloaded the latest Thrift Store Cowboys album from Amazon. It’s a departure from their earlier stuff, but not too far off the mark. In The Clear solidifies the whole thing from the standpoint of the old fat guy who used to own that place where they played in August a long time ago. In other words, go get it. They’re one of my favorite bands for running flat-out down a blacktop under a full moon. Hell, get ‘em all.
