A Harvest Adventure Story BY RICHARD “REGGIE” GUMMER
SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPULSIONS TO GAMBLE, SOME TO, NEVER WAS VERY GOOD AT IT; BUT I HAVE DONE IT OVER THE YEARS JUST THE SAME.
IF ANY OF YOU WANT ANY INSIDE INFORMATION ON ANY CASINO THAT I’VE BEEN TO, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU WHAT AMASS FORTUNES AND OTHER’S, WELL THEY JUST LIKE TO WRITE STORIES. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE ME. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TO WRITE I KNOW.
REGGIE
THIS HARVEST WAS DURING MY FATHER & SON TRIP ALL OVER THE WESTERN STATES. KEN (MY YOUNGEST SON) AND I EMBARKED ON A TRIP THAT WOULD TAKE US THROUGH THE FOLLOWING STATES AND VICTORIA, BC: CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, UTAH, COLORADO, SOUTH DAKOTA, MONTANA, IDAHO, WASHINGTON & OREGON.
WE HAD LEFT VICTORIA EARLY THAT MORNING AND CAUGHT AN EARLY FERRY TO PORT ANGELES AND HEADED DOWN THE ROAD IN HIS BRAND NEW MUSTANG, WE STOPPED IN AT LITTLE CREEK CASINO FOR A MID DAY LUNCH, LOOKED AROUND FOR A BLACK JACK TABLE AFTER BEING TOLD AT THE CASHIER THAT CHIPS ARE SOLD AT THE TABLE ONLY.
I ASKED THE DEALER AT THE BLACK JACK IF HE HAD SEEN ANY OF “TOTEM FROG” CHIPS, AND HE LAUGHED VERY LOUDLY, I THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE TO CALL A DOCTOR. SO I COLLECTED THE SMALL AMOUNT OF SINGLES I NEEDED; PLAYED A FEW HANDS OF BLACK JACK PAID FOR OUR LUNCH, AND WENT TO LOOK FOR MY SON, WHO WAS PLAYING SLOTS TO KILL TIME. WE HOOKED UP AND BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN.
I DID GET ENOUGH OF THE COMMON CHIPS I NEEDED FROM LITTLE RIVER, BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED ON NOT FINDING AT LEAST ONE OF THE “TOTEM FROG”…REGGIE
