Horse Racing!

The other day my cousin Chas, my uncle Chuck, and I went to the horse track for some wagering. My uncle has quite the system down, but I don't know anything about betting on the horses. The track gives you a program, but the information is super detailed and very confusing. I didn't win anything until the final races and ended the day down about $60 bucks. Not too bad! I certainly learned a lot and maybe next time I will come out ahead. Its a short video, but we were there for several hours. They run 10 races and in between each race is a 23 minute break.

I also went to the Polish Museum of America. It was a pretty decent but small museum. From the looks of the place, the placards, and the posters, the museum acquired everything in a single purchase. Everything on display came from the Polish Exhibit at the 1939 World's Fair in New York! I got a few postcards but I still didn't learn enough about Casimir Pulaski... he has a whole day dedicated to his memory here in the city of Chicago (which has over a million Pols and is the largest concentration of Pols on Earth outside of Poland). Anyone out there ever heard of him? Let me know what you know about Ol' Pulaski!
