Hey Ya'll
"That would be Deadwood S.D. on 2 August, 1876". We did a little eating, a little drinking and a little gambling in Deadwood tonight.
The evening started out w/ us looking for a decent meal amidst the slot machines and we were directed to Diamond Lil's, Kevin Costner's resturant. It was a 3 story affair w/ the Sports Bar, (no slots) on the 2nd floor, and a fancier resturant on the 3rd floor. We went w/ the less $$ sports bar for pizza and steak. The guy on the casino floor directing people assured Cody that the Sports Bar had wine, (a prerequisite) and no smoking.
So we got up to a nice table overlooking the main street of Deadwood, ordered our wine and food and settled down for a nice chat. O-La...a group of 3 young folks all barely 21 sat down at the table next to us for drinks and a good smoke. All 3 lit up while the waitress (who's father hangs w/ Kevin regularly) took their drink orders. Cody and I looked at each other aghast! Smoking and eating do not exist in the same room in the wonderful State of Washington!! What kind of barbarians live in South Dakota?? Quick like a white-tail deer in the Black Hills, I was out of my chair over to their table. In an incredibly diplomatic manner I said that we were certain the man at the door said the Bar was "non smoking". But oh no. There WAS smoking in the Bar, in fact.
All 3 youngsters apologized profusely and said they really didn't need to smoke. I was very thankful and went back to my seat. After a few minutes the youngsters moved to another part of the Bar where I think they could smoke w/ impunity. I said I was sorry they had to move but thanked them. I called the the waitress over (who's dad hangs w/ Kevin if you'll remember) and told her I was buying their first round of drinks. Haha...when they received them one of the cute guys came flying to our table saying.."dude, you didn't have to do that...but thanks". Alls well that ends well.
We then moved to the downstairs where we each blew $10 in the slots. It only took about 20 minutes. I love Deadwood. xooxoxxpiequeen

Hey, what's the deal? We're stuck on Wild Bill Hickock country. Is that the end of the journey? You liked Deadwood so much, you're goin' to stay? I think I'll move to South Dakota, and live with the barbarians. Those perfect State of Washington folks can also be very intolerant....willie
