05-01 18:39
Mike n Rachel in DC:
We keep talking about doing some Chinese with Chan but it hasn’t happened yet…
05-01 18:39
Matt:
I haven’t either, hmmmm
05-01 18:39
Rush:
Around 1990, Marie and I went to DC for a wedding. We stopped at a new Taco Bell for lunch there, and it was funny to see that each item on the menu had phonetic pronunciation with it!
05-01 18:40
Mike n Rachel in DC:
LOL…we’re a multi-cultural area, Rush
Have to help out the Japanese tourists, I guess
05-01 18:40
Rush:
But, it seems that back then some things were pretty new to the general public!
05-01 18:41
Mike n Rachel in DC:
I bet.
05-01 18:41
Rush:
Maybe!
We got a little laugh out of it.
05-01 18:41
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Our neighborhood has a lot of Salvadoran folks…great central and South American food now.
05-01 18:41
Rush:
Just a chuckle, anyway!
Sounds great, Matt.
05-01 18:41
Mike n Rachel in DC:

05-01 18:42
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Back in the days of Chan on Key Video VHS, we used to get take out Chinese and pop in a Chan tape. Heaven.
05-01 18:43
Rush:
Ah….indeed!
Perfect!
AND, sometimes AMC would hold a Chan Marathon!
05-01 18:43
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Our Chan introduction was the neighborhood video rental store (remember those?) and Key Video Chans
05-01 18:43
Rush:

Presently, anyway….
05-01 18:57
Matt:
We’re at 3.69
05-01 18:58
Rush:
He startled the bikers.
05-01 18:58
Matt:

05-01 18:59
Rush:
Sounds like he’s driving a diesel.
05-01 19:00
Rush:
He passed the “infamous” Clown Motel.
And there we have it.
Tonopah!
05-01 19:01

05-01 19:02
Rush:

05-01 19:03
Matt:
Clown Motel would freak a few people out
05-01 19:03
Rush:

05-01 19:03
Matt:
Hello Hounder!
05-01 19:03
Rush:

Mike n Rachel in DC:
It looks bad, but it’s got a higher AAA rating than the Bates Motel, so there’s that…

05-01 19:24
Mike n Rachel in DC:
so the “aviators” headline didn’t change between papers…
Charlie. There shouldn’t be any trouble getting a rabbit to reproduce…
05-01 19:24
Rush:
We saw Number One Grandchild’s birth last week.
05-01 19:24
Phil:
So..if he’s working on Easter eggs it suggests it’s around Easter time
05-01 19:24
Rush:
Yes. And we will see that Jimmy is about to take off on his Spring Break.
05-01 19:24
Phil:
Boy Charlie you got that one right.
05-01 19:25
Mike n Rachel in DC:
sleuthing…so how old with #1 grandson have to be to make an Easter egg relevant?
05-01 19:25
Rush:
Yes, Phil!
USC….
05-01 19:26
Mike n Rachel in DC:
I wonder if spring break ever was around Easter…
05-01 19:27
Dona:
It was when I was in school
05-01 19:27
Rush:
We see how good deeds can often not go unpunished…!
Stunt man there!
05-01 19:28
Rush:
And that was NOT an easy one!
A lot of bared skin exposed to the fall!
05-01 19:28
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Yes, Dona. It usually lines up in public schools, but university spring breaks are usually in early-mid March
Tough way to make $75 (or whatever he got paid), Rush
05-01 19:29
Rush:
“Thank you so much!”
Hello…DONA!
05-01 19:29
