Well today something novel happened that I have never been witness to before. My dad made a mistake driving the combine. He ran the front wheel into a ditch and got the wheel stuck. We had to pull out the combine with the grain cart tractor. The funny thing is he is always telling me to be careful when crossing that ditch and culvert. I tried to take some pictures with my camera phone, but I don't think that they came out very well. It was too dark by that time to get a good shot. I would love to be there when grandpa puts all the evidence together and starts to get mad. It seems that I will be subbing tomorrow though.
I also want to get on my soapbox about casinos. I don't think they are a good idea for ohio or any other place. I am not a gambler or risk taker with my money. Some people like that scene, but it is not for me. I think a casino will attract a bad crowd. I never really plan to visit a casino, no matter how close or convenient it can be made to me. If I went to vegas, I think I would spend more time lounging and going to clubs then letting places have my money for nothing in return. Thats another thing. Just because ohio has a casino, doesn't mean people are going to want to visit. Casinos and gambling work in nevada because it is an escape from reality. Here in ohio, your life will suck just as much as anywhere else. Why would someone want to go to a casino when there is a foot of snow on the ground and the weather is in the single digits. Sounds like a bad idea. Let the other states have the degenerate folks money. If ohio want to increase its revenue, ohio should do something else. Put people to work like they did in the depression, building roads and other construction projects.
I am also glad to see that it looks like issue 2 will pass. As a farmer, it is good to have any pro agriculture legislature pass. I am glad to see this because I didn't vote this year. I have moved or changed townships since last years election and didn't get registered in time. Maybe next year I will have that done.

I voted against the casino. The commercials keep saying that the casinos will bring in 34,000 jobs. The jobs aren't going to go to all Ohioans. They are not going to give the dealer jobs to Ohioans, they're going to give those jobs to experienced dealers from Vegas/Reno. I agree about the casino attracting a bad crowd, if you've ever been to Vegas and have seen some of the people sitting at the poker tables, you would know that some of those people are shady people. I have gambled, but I don't make it a regular thing. People are struggling as it is, I think a casino will just make it worse.
