GUEST AUTHORS OF HARVEST STORIES AND THEIR ADVENTURES
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I STARTED ASKING GUEST AUTHORS TO SUBMIT HIS/HER’S HARVEST STORIES. (WHEN I WAS STILL DOING THE POD – PAGE OF THE DAY)
AT THIS WRITING I HAVE 60+ STORIES TO SHARE. I AM HOPING THAT A FEW MORE AUTHORS WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE, AND THESE VERY PROLIFIC “CHIPPERS” WILL COME UP WITH A FEW MORE. I WILL CONTINUE TO RE RUN THESE STORIES THROUGH THE COMING YEAR.
THESE STORIES ARE ALWAYS INFORMATIVE AND USUALLY HAVE A BIT OF TONGUE AND CHEEK HUMOR.
IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO SHARE WITH OTHERS, DIFFERENT WAYS OF HARVESTING, THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS THAT WE HAVE FACED OUT THERE WHILE WE WERE HARVESTING.
I ALSO ASK CB POSTERS FOR PERMISSION TO RE RUN THEIR STORIES IF THEY POST IT ON CHIPBOARD.

A GUEST AUTHOR’s HARVEST STORY
Hollywood Jamul
By:STEVE GOBEL
A big new casino, courtsey of Penn National Gaming. Seems the locals weren't too happy about it: there were several signs on the road saying Stop the Casino and 97% of residents don't want the casino. Warm welcome. I can see why they didn't want it. A gigantic building in the middle of their nice rural "town".
Pai Gow the old fashioned way, a real pleasure! Joker: Aces Straight Flushes. 5% commission, and only one side bet for Envy. Shouldda done it, but it's $5 to envy other hands and I only put out $1, as there was only one other guy at the table. How was I supposed to know he'd have a flush... Won my hand so the $10 min bet returned $9.50 paid by a 5, 2.5, 1, 1; with a snapper for the collection without having a Blackjack, or trying to chase the snapper down.
When I signed up for the club card, the girl said that I already had one issued at the "M". "Oh, you're managed by Penn National"
"Yeah, we're a small tribe and tried for years to get a casino going, and partnered up with Penn to do it." Results, no new member freebies for me.
Not my favorite drive down to the casino, but I'd go back just for the no frills Pai Gow.
