good talk

I was sorry to hear about Billy Mays although I won't miss his commercials. Norman Brinker himself died earlier this month, the creator of the Salad Bar (you're grateful, admit it), he became ultrarich from "Bennigan's" and "Chili's." Everybody's been dying. "Operation Wetback," those were the Good Old Days. Have you read Vin's Column? I used to go see the "Classic Car Collection" at the Imperial Palace every year but haven't for the past 10 for some odd reason. Just scrounge inside for a Free Pass, I never paid. 250 cars worth 100 million dollars and all are for sale. Many are the cars of famous people like Hitler (solid rubber tires so they couldn't be shot out, oh those Clever Krauts), Leo Carillo, Pancho on the "Cisco Kid," a real likeable character and many others. Even you women would like this, I gotta go back. The last time I was there they had 17 Duesenbergs, some of the most high-performance, beautiful and elegant Cars ever built and a couple were for sale for 2 million dollars. Many of the Movie Stars of the 20's and 30's had one such as Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Howard Hughes had one. It gave rise to if something was really great "It's a Doozie."
