    Wednesday & Thursdays $18 & $20. I condisdered a 3rd league, but I will be on several different USTA tennis teams during the bowling season. I really need to pick tennis or bowling. If I quit tennis I would put on 20 lbs, so that won't work, and I want to stick with bowling because I figure I can do that longer, as I age.

    I just had an interesting phone call about bowling.

    In the Friday Laughlin league, 2 seasons ago, I showed up at the meeting just looking to be placed somewhere.

    They put 4 individuals together, and we ended up winning the league.

    I didn't start the league end next season, but subbed a number of times, then near the end, a team has a person who had to drop out, so they asked if I could take over.

    They were in first place by 2 or 3 games, and in the final 5 weeks, we were able to hold on, and even extended the lead.

    So this year, again I wasn't planning on bowling, but I got a phone call from another guy in the league asking if I could join his team.

    When I mentioned that $20/week, and 35 weeks was a bit more of a commitment than I was willing to make.

    So he responded with, he will pay ALL of the league fees, as long as I bowl on his team.

    I don't know what the guy does for a living, but we held our league banquet at his house the last couple of years... (nice BIG house, great view) so he's not hurting for $$

    Some offers are too good to pass on.

    Who is he and get me his number. I swore never to do a Laughlin league again (Laughlin SUCKS...it's 108 degree pile of dirty sand), and it would mean transversing the Green River Pass since it's probably in Riverside County (<---Orange County's trailer park for those outside of CA)....but if he's willing to pay YOU $20/week to be on his team...I could get him to pay ME at least $60!!

    I mean, how many ABHMAVZSCI championships do YOU have?

    Green River is a long slow drive because of all the people who work in Orange County, but choose not to live in Orange County.

    One of my friends/coworkers lives in Corona and he'll be the first to correct the above statement and amend it to say:
    "Green River is a long slow drive because of all the people who work in Orange (and LA) county/ies, but cannot afford to live in Orange County."

    I guess Orange County has had to jack up property taxes sky high to make up for having filed for bankruptcy.

    I'm just saying....I paid $1875/month for a 2-bedroom to live on the Orange County side of Green River Pass. My friend bought a house in Corona that is IMMENSELY large...like 3 bedrooms, 2 floors, 2-3 bath, AND a friggin hot tub and he paid just over $600,000. I looked for a tiny house around me...something 2 bedroom-ish with a pool and I think the lowest I found was $470,000 for 1/3 the size and lets just say it needed significant work. A comparable house to his...ran at LEAST $900k. So it's property value first...I'm sure the taxes are just a second kick in gonards.

    I can't see how EVERY county in California doesn't go bankrupt. They each have about 80% more employees than most counties throughout the country...so I can't see how payroll alone doesn't sink the lot of em.

    I think he has the mistaken impression that if I bowl on his team, he going to win the league.

    Last season he finished behind his friend's team, and it's all about bragging rights.
