Good fortune has arrived!

Just not on babies: stupid White Orchid paid me two $50+ line hits on 40 cent bets @ Fortune Bay Resort Casino. The “good fortune” win was a rather lame $6 line hit…

The Sunset Steakhouse has changed a lot since it opened, but that tender filet plus blue cheese remains as good as ever

Really missed Black Orchid, but got my first bingo, observed the progress on #18 (and the new Mesa practice area), returned to the Meadows Bar and Grill for an amazing apple pecan salad, hit all my favorites at the Minnehaha Cafe and had success on several other favorite slot machines. Thanks, Mystic!
