Free Chocolate

The area casinos are doing this big promotion. "We Love Locals" . Every night this month they are giving away a car and other cash prizes..

Eh, worth a shot if you are there anyway, chances are slim enough that I am not making a special trip down for the drawing.  Been too sick to care anyway.

But today.... Oh today was free Valentine Day Chocolate day! 

Thirteen pieces of free chocolate.... but wait there's more! The teenagers and I all get a free box from the  Fiesta and The Santa Fe.
10 o'clock this morning June is calling me.. "We have to get our prizes.. are you ready? Let's go!"

The Cold Medicines have me high, I am in a happy place. I agree.. Why not? (Maybe because I don't really love chocolate?)

 We get there.. It's early for a weekend.. The parking lot is full... Packed.. Seniors are shuffling in, replacing those shuffling out... Heart shaped red boxes clutched to their chests.. 

I know this is not going to be pretty... Oh God, I hate lines..

The line was long... very long.. But true to their advertising The Fiesta does love the locals and rather than check ID's, slide player cards and make us all wait.. they just had a candy frenzy and started handing that shit out by the box full!

One down.. Half the day not lost, still buzzed on the Dayquil.. I thought I might throw a few bucks into a slot machine..

Nope! That wasn't part of the plan.





Bye Slot machines, and smoky Fiesta, June says we need to get to the Santa Fe!

 

Out of town friends coming.. we need to be close to home if they call.. Okay, I am starting to realize that this is a well coordinated operation.. 6 free boxes of candy, needs a plan..

 

Thankfully the Santa Fe already had their candy free for all... or they just never had any lines..  

A fist full of confectionery in no time!

Why does it feel so good to get something for nothing?

I got to play a little and no, I did not win..
