I mentioned that min raises makes Baby Jesus cry at a live poker game once and just got confused looks. Inside voice, inside voice. What a sense of relief. All I have to do is STOP playing.

Like those folks standing in the metaphorical rain with their metaphorical umbrellas mostly keeping their heads and asses dry, the occasion exchange about the state of the weather is not totally out of place. But it should be short if not sweet.<br/><br/>"Pretty wet out today."<br/><br/>"Yep."<br/><br/>That should about do it.

I just love the irony in that. Maybe it's just me. And baby Jesus.

Luck is a result of the restricted perspective of probability due to the contingent of time and furthermore order.

Luck is something man invented to explain the successes of his enemies.
