melbourne day 2

Not a lot of homeless people here. Some crazy people but they seem to have places to stay.

Melbourne has a free tram that goes around the center of the city. I was waiting for the tram outside the casino and a guy came off, yammering, "and to hell with you and your coke!". He looked at a guy sitting down the stand from me and yelled at him, "Don't drink coke!" and shuffled away.

I went to an art fair, two art musuems and wrapped up at the casino.

Art fair, ok.

Museums, ok.

Casino. They had a crap table! Yea!
So I get to the table and half of it is closed! What the hell is that! There was no place to get in. I had to lean in and spread these two guys out so I could get to the rail.
So this young asian guy is rolling, and boom! He craps out. He's betting 300, 400 per point, so I don't like him already.
I next to him so the dice come to me. I love seeing the dice come off the stick. Six dice slide up. I pick the two with six up. I pound the table and there I go. 7. Winner. Asian guy wins. He has 125 on the line.

I roll a ten, I bet the inside and the numbers are coming, 6, 9, 10, 8, 9, 6, 6.....Asian guy is betting and making a lot of money, but we don't even look at each other, thats the way you do it.

10 comes easy. Nice. I feel good.

I crapped out and this guy comes up with his girlfriend and she rolls. She rolls two sevens and makes a six right off. I'm making money asian guy makes handfulls of black chips, then she has to make a ten. Asian guy says "I don't think she can make that ten."

I don't know if she heard it or not but the next roll the dice hit the felt crashed into each other in the air in an odd way...and 7.

I should have left right there. This guy is making money and he turns on her.

The table got cold after that. I rolled and nothing was coming so I left.

I pulled the strap off of my backpack, so I spent about fifteen minutes on the bank of the Yarra river watching the sun and birds and sewing my strap. Not too bad.

I took some pics but the hostel doesn't have a usb port on this computer, so pics will come in a couple of days.

Later.
