"I won a dollar!"

Today I am at a golf tournament for my job.  I flew into Boise last night and can honestly say that the pace of life in Boise is slower than the average.  I, being California born and raised am always amused at how here is Idaho, everyone is laid back, enjoys life, takes things slowly.  This place really is one of a kind.  So after taking some event photos I returned to the restaurant/snack shop at the course to check my emails and there was the most ADORABLE group of little old men who had just come off the course. .  

Having grown up so close to my great gram and grampy, I have a very special place in my heart for older people.  Something about them makes my heart warm and puts a smile onto my face.   In fact all my friend's thing I am weird because I always go "I want to hug him/her!"

Anyways... I'm sitting here in my corner, watching their them settle all their golf wagers, silently happy and amused at the process.   There is a group of about 8 men.  One delegating and one arguing with him about how he "won a dollar" and where was his dollar.   The delegating one was trying to explain something about the rules and how he did not in fact win a dollar. 

 

After one of the men finishes tallying the scores, they all were awarded their winnings.  "Roy, you won $4.00.... Jon, $20! (This was the big winner), Chuck, you won $10... minus the four you owe so here is $6...."  Big winnings.   I assume they are betting quarters or something.  While this is going one, dollar man keeps arguing with delegator about how he "WON A DOLLAR!"

After everyone received their big cash payouts, they all got up to leave and the delegator  goes "I'm out of here... I have to go to the VA Hospital..."

There is something about Boise. 

Airline Dr. Phil.

People on airplanes have the weirdest conversations with strangers. It's like the second some people sit down their seat mate becomes Dr. Phil.
To whit: the woman across the isle is telling the kid by the window why she's going to Vegas which involves some sort of legal battle as she as him if court fees means XYZ. My thoughts here: " the kid isn't a lawyer. He seems disinterested. How did you get on this topic? Wonder what the case is..."

Exhibit B: man across isle and two rows up is on phone talking about someone he knows in a coma. Ring the nosey person I am I immediately am saddened by this and wonder Ho it is and what happened. Some things though its easier not to know.


Not only do people have some interesting conversations but the man next to me is a bit .... Larger and is hogging the ENTIRE seat rest thus making it impossible for me to switch channels on the inflight TV, not that it's an issue because I just discovered the headphones I packed are only working in one ear anyways but I'd feel too socially awkward penguin to purchase another pair when I brought my own and have them on my lap.

On that note I'm off. Can't wait to see what convos I can listen in on with blatant nosey curiosity once the plane takes off.
