So tonight I went to my friend Michael's house for a little bit after work, and ended up staying longer than I expected. We decided to hit cheap 9 o'clock bowling, but unfortunately I didn't have any socks with me. I meant to borrow some from him, but forgot, so I arrived at the bowling alley sockless. So as we are checking in our shoes, I asked the people if they sold socks. No, but you can buy socks in the machine behind them. So I scampered off to get me some socks while Michael finished paying. Socks in a vending machine, fancy that, and fancy that I had no cash on me. Michael had already paid so I couldn't do cash back, so I had to look for an ATM, which I hate because of the stupid fees. Anywho. . . I ask the lady where an ATM is and she said I had to go upstairs to the main casino and around the corner. I reminded the woman that she had already taken my shoe, but she kinda just looked at me dumbfoundedly. . . so I pulled the other one off and hit the escalator barefoot for the ATM. Of course, who do I run into at the top of the escalators? The security men. "Where are your shoes young lady??" "ummm. . . at the bowling alley. . . just need some cash!" They kinda just grumble something and walk off. So I finish my withdrawal and am heading back towards the escalators when I run into an important looking man in a badge. "So you are the one I hear about running around shoeless!" "yes, that would be me. . . but not for long!" "Well you better watch out, they are talking bad about you down there!" Hmmm. . . I was a little nervous heading back down, but there was not a security guard in sight. Phew! When I got back, Michael asked me if I had gotten into trouble. . . whoa. . . security men come tattle on me or what??
Moral of the story. . . remember your socks when you go bowling. Or else you may get stuck running barefoot around a casino to pay $3 ATM fee to buy $4 socks from a vending machine!
Now I best go wash my feet. . . Can't imagine the grotesque germs that could possibly be hidden away on the floors of a dirty Las Vegas casino. . . bleh!

One thing I learned while being a mail carrier... always "carry" an extra pair of socks, underware, shoes, pants, shirt and lots of gloves. Since you are not a mail carrier, but do seem to enjoy bowling, just carry an extra pair of socks in your purse- light weight anklets would do you well. Are you kidding? what is wrong with those security guards. You know there were worse things going on in that casino that you running around barefooted. You must have looked like you would at least respect their request to get your shoes back on. People always fuss about nothing when the real trouble is going on right before their eyes. Weird world, we have. I guess some things can at least be fixed while other things just seem impossible. Love,Aunt Gail
