FYI - GVR Full-Pay Slant-Tops Near Italian Restaurant Are Gone

My girlfriend and I just got home from having dinner at the new Terra
Verde Restaurant at Green Valley Ranch which replaced Il Fornaio (as
an aside, there's an Il Fornaio at New York New York). This is the
restaurant that the winner of Hell's Kitchen will be working at. As
we were coming out, I was talking to one of the Hostesses and
mentioned that my favorite place to play video poker were the machines
over there ... and then I looked and noticed them missing! Yikes! I
wanted to get home so I don't know if they were just moved to a new
location or totally yanked.

Rampart has a gas promo this month (on most Thursdays) which seems worthwhile: Earn 400 points and redeem/receive a $10 gas coupon from Fast Freddie's. You are entitled to 3 coupons per person per day. But watch out! The coupons are only good for 7 days. So if you earn 3 of them, you are entitled to $30 worth of gas, but what if you don't need that much gas per week? (Or if two people with one car, $60 of gas per week?) We don't use that much gas, so this promo is rather useless.

A bank of ten slant top Optimums showed up by the doors to the I-215
parking garage yesterday morning. I will make the changes to the data
base soon.

How could you not use $30 in gas? That's just about 10 gallons, or
just over a half tank in most cars. I find it hard to believe that you
don't drive around 200 miles in a weeks time.

It's true. Our car (an early 90's Camry) only eats about $30 per filling, and only about once a month. We're only about 2 miles to the Rampart, and that's about the only place we go!

Rock from Hell's Kitchen at GVR. Let's set the over/under at 1 year
before it bites the dust.

LOL. Some of us are old. Some of us drive a few miles miles to a
local casino. And then drive home and have a personal chef come over
and prepare a meal. This is what happens when you get old. My around
town American car only holds 13 gallons and gets 25 MPG. The other
car is a classic and a gas hog, but is only driven on Sundays if the
sun is out. Regardless, I usually fill up once a month at the local
Shell station. Yesterday it was $2.89 a gallon.

But as an Exxon shareholder, as well as Anadarko, I appreciate
everyone that uses a lot of gas daily. Drive Hummers. Drive
Escalades. Drive Toyota Tundras. I don't care. Us old people love
the business, as well as need the income to play VP. You don't
expect us to survive on a pension, social secuity, and an IRA?

Back on topic. Some of us DO NOT use $30 of gasoline every week.
