Back Home Safe
by A_Junglen on 10/31/07
Just droppin a quick note to let everyone know that I’ve made it home safe. Happy to report that I didn’t almost die on the drive home, as I did on the way there.I started driving around midnight. I prefer driving at night as there is less traffic, less sunlight, less stress. No, I don’t have anything against the sun, but it can be annoying when it’s in your eyes for hours. Anyways, I was having some difficulties finding my way out of Canada. I eventually found my way out at the border, but then got slightly lost again on my way to I-90, which is the main road I needed to get on. I asked a gas station attendant for directions, but I still had problems. I had already wasted around 45min driving in circles, so I pulled out my iPhone, which is really what I should’ve done from the start. I looked at the closest street sign.
“Delton Rd”
So I opened the Google Maps function on my iPhone and typed in “Delton Rd NY” and then my home address. I kid you not, 10 seconds later it loaded with the correct directions, distance, and estimated travel time. The distance/travel time are standard, but I was very surprised to get exact directions after giving such a vague description. All I knew was the closest street sign, the state I was in, and where I needed to go. Didn’t need the city or zip code, and it still gave perfect directions in a timely fashion.
I feel like I just did an Apple commercial.
Good luck to Jeff Garza and Jon Little, who are both friends of mine and still in WPT Niagara. There are 2 tables left (18 players), and they will play down to the TV table (Final 6) on the 1st. Jon’s on a really sick run in WPT events - he already final tabled one last season, won one this season, took 7th in another this season, and he is the chip leader in Niagara. So sick. This is Jeff’s first cash in a major event, despite that he’s definitely one of the best players left int he tournament and I really hope he wins.
That’s all for now, it’s great to be home. Good luck guys.

Glad it was a better trip home (although probably a little more depressing). You got a little mention on PokerRoad Radio last night congrats you made the big time! Only Bart Hanson knew who you were, Bob and Gavin clearly don't care about watching poker or reading forums about up and coming online players. GL at the next event!10/31/07
