good talk

Just found his card or I would have mentioned him earlier in the Summer.  A lot of people drive to Las Vegas and they often arrive with car trouble, especially when it's hot.  Our friend, Don Cole's, Juvenile Record was so bad that even the Army didn't want him.  But by the time Don was "19" he had straightened-himself out and he became an ace auto-mechanic.  Don has a shop and also a Mobile-Service, he's very honest and highly reputable and his prices are quite reasonable, he has over 40 years experience and can work on any car of any age, he's worked on Bentleys.  Don is a workaholic and will be happy to help you out.  Cell--702-496-2612  I'm mentioning this for your benefit, not his, he has plenty of work.  Don's landlord is trying to double the rent so he might be moving, no concern to you, and a friend of ours, Harvey, has extensive real estate holdings and has offered shop-space for 20% less than Don's been paying.  You gotta have friends, isn't there a song that goes like that ...  A former tenant of Harvey's was "Fat Herbie" Blitzstein (Nov. 2, 1934 to Jan. 6, 1997), a notorious racketeer and chief associate of Tony Spilotro, both of whose characters were featured in the film "Casino."  On Jan. 6, 1997, Herbie was pumped full of bullets by members of the L.A. and Buffalo mobs as they desired the take-over of Herbie's lucrative prostitution, loansharking, and other nefarious activities.  This "Hit" was so botched with so many loose ends that eventually about a dozen involved were sent to prison.  Although he broke his lease, and abruptly, Harv has fond memories of Herbie as a good tenant who paid rent promptly
