I'm like Mom, I have a good job here in Ohio but hey I am open to more cash always

About an hour after I hang up it dawns on me - their is no friggin live Horse Racing near this town. Am I a degenerate or what. I mean I got Churchill and Keeneland within 3 1/2 hours and all kinds of other tracks within shorter distance.

Am I just nuts or what?
Charleston is a lovely town... you will really like it... but no, I couldn't live anywhere without a racetrack.
