And.... a happy Diwali to you too, Tkret!!
This is the perfect holiday for Chelsea,
"Gambling is encouraged during the Diwali season as a way of ensuring good luck for the coming year and in remembrance of the games of dice played by the Lord Shiva and Parvati on Mount Kailasa or between Radha and Krishna. In honour of Lakshmi, the female player always wins during Diwali.

Good Luck Chels, Happy Diwali to you tooo!

Half of the houses in my neighborhood in Norcal have Diwali lights on the houses.
