on the patio , in a arizonia room setting, playing cards. 90% of the folks in my community of playing cards have zero social skills so eventually ends with politics and border issues. They just don't know how to have a civil conversation.
been spedning my mondays with a Candian neighbor who does not play cards, we go to casino and eat a 5.00 skillet that anywhere else is 15.00 or more. then we play side by side slot machine that will never pay out but on a dime a spin can last a long time and create some fun energy We talk non stop on the 40 min round trip, I am able to generate a conversation as he is a retired wheat farmer who never left. so great conversatins.
I
I had two walking partners who went to see their families over christmas, great conversatins....they did not return.
Cactus don't talk back...which is where I spend most of my free time anyhow in the arizonia desert
