Went to see one of my local books this past weekend and was overtaken with sadness.....
No it wasn't that I owed.....matter of fact just a small collection from that sources this month.......but the fact that we met in a parking lot of a Buffalo Wild Wings on a sunny afternoon......than I realized that we always meet outside somewhere....and or since the advent of offshore books we collect via online, transfers, checks, etc.......it just gas become so modern.
I remember the days some 35 years ago + back in my 20's.....go to a local neighborhood bar in Chicago ...which was dimly lit, the guy in the back corner taking wagers, paying, collecting .......I mean that was the norm......you'd go see him ...than spend time at the bar with a drink or two......
I kind of miss that ........it makes me sad to think of that guy....always alert but somewhat out of shape but always in control......doing his thing.....taking our action......it was all so exciting but yet mysterious.....maybe mainly because it was so dark. Illegal, and uncertain......
Than the age of computers hit and what once was working out of a closet......became open and public and based on an island......
I miss the old way.....but would never go hack.....and that coming from an old dog like me.....be thankful for offshore and hopefully in the USA legal in all states.......that guy from yesteryear thatcsat in the corner now gets plenty of sun....
Cheers
