Did you hear the one about the guy who sold all his belongings (including clothes) so he could stand at a roulette table in Las Vegas and bet it all on the spin of the wheel? Oddly enough, thats what Ashley Revell did over the weekend… And walked away with a cool $270,600. Not to mention a few frayed nerves I’m sure.
A British man who sold all his possessions, including his clothes, stood in a rented tuxedo on Sunday surrounded by family and friends and bet everything on a single spin of the roulette wheel.

The wheel was spun, a crowd of supporters including his Mum and Dad from London went wild, the ball bobbled over the slots and landed on Red ‘7’ — and Revell walked away with $270,600.
“It all happened so quickly, it was spinning before I knew it,” Revell said, adding he did not intend to try to double it again. He gave a $600 tip to the croupier and plans to party — and buy some clothes.
Well, if I could, I’d do the same thing, except make sure I keep a few grand aside incase lady luck shits on me…
On Saturday we took a little trip up to Lake Lanier to have a barbeque picnic as it was Adam’s last day… And although it was overcast, it was still pretty hot and really gorgeous when the sun eventually did come out.

Unfortunately there are no pictures of the actual barbeque, as Erika has a phobia of getting her picture taken and she had taken up the chef position, I took her threat of “I know where you sleep” while brandishing a rather large and sharp kinfe rather seriously…
And I’ll end with the obligatory panorama shot, god, I’m so predictable now aren’t I?
