  1. Reflecting back to Richard Nixon , Poker Player
    Trigger by yesterday’s 1.4 Million news:

    But once the future president was transferred to the more peaceful Green Island, he found time for more leisurely pursuits—namely poker. In fact, he became such a card shark that, when he returned from his service, he brought home thousands of dollars in winnings—enough cash to help fund his first run for political office, when he won a California congressional seat in 1946.

    “He was the finest poker player I have ever played against,” former Navy comrade James Udall recalled in a 1970 Life magazine interview. “I once saw him bluff a lieutenant commander out of $1,500 with a pair of deuces.”

    “I never saw him lose,” another Navy man, Lester Wroble, told Life.

  2. I finished my quest to visit all 102 counties in Illinois. I documented it in song form. It’s on YouTube as I’ve Been Everywhere in Illinois. Mine has the thumbnail with the guy with the purple shirt.
