Shower Thought – October 20, 2025
I have a buddy who plays blackjack. He goes to Mesquite or Wendover or wherever and doubles down. I do not play because I cannot count. But he is very sensitive to the table to the dealer and to the feeling of the place. He senses the vibration of the other players and the cigarette smoke in the room. He is like Tonto.
Everyone knows about how a lot of American Indian characters in older movies, shows, & ads were actually played by non-Indian actors. Jay Sliverheels who played Tonto in The Lone Ranger TV Series was an exception. He was a full blooded Indian of Mohawk & Seneca descent. pic.twitter.com/S1nY3UULel…
