Holly competitive old people!!!

So as I'm sitting in Starbucks this morning (located in the casino downstairs from my hotel room) posting my blog two old men start yelling at each other. This is happening as I'm 10 feet from either of these two old guys. Normally I would say gentlemen but when they started to hit each other the term gentlemen now longer accurately describes either geezer. I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen an actual fist fight happen in front of me and this was one of those times. From what I could gather the first old guy (I would say he was probably about 80 with his cane in one hand and prune juice in the other) "stole" the other guys lucky machine. Words were exchanged, then the pushing started and then fists were thrown. Here I am sitting thinking is this really happening and why is everyone else just ignoring it. I mean really a hip could have been broken and we all know it's just down hill from there. Adalie asleep in her stroller wasn't even phased by this demonstration of utter ruthlessness. So, I did what any new mother would do, I started screaming for security, the tellers in starbucks soon joined me and then Adalie joined in. Security soon came and took them away. Wow, how ridiculous! I'm still pissed at these two old boys!

  1. Wow, how scary for that to happen right in front of you and Adalie. Glad you yelled for somebody to come help. Can't wait for you to come back home! Glad you are doing good. :-)
