A day late and a buck short

Today I intended to post the official rules for Cribbage Solitaire, a card game I invented.  If you go to Wikipedia, however, and look up Cribbage Solitaire, it will give you the rules exactly as I devised them, but written by somebody else.

This has happened to me before. I once designed a very nifty new kind of trailer hitch, except that when I showed it to somebody they told me farmers have been using hitches like that for centuries.  I also invented the first skate board, way back in the '50's, by taking an old roller skate apart and nailing the front wheels to one end of a two-by-four and the back wheels to the other end.  Too bad I didn't market it.

At least I know a good idea when I see it.
