I live in a positive metropolis compared to where you lived Sam. My home

town is population 3000 and the biggest event is also the train coming thru

AND the local sheep sale at the stockyards!

I can smell that town from here, Tootie, and I am at least 6000 miles

away. I spent a few months working in downtown Newark, NJ and thought

that was small-town America before I got sent to Missouri. What a

pity that Hollywood doesn't show that kind of life any more. Most of

the world thinks that life in the USA is all getting shot at and cars

blowing up.

You might find it hard to believe but we get Harvey over here,

too. I didn't realize that it was a country thing. And we have a new

Wal-Mart (hasn't opened yet) just down the road. The world is smaller

than you think.

Gee Sam, how many of these nudie bars did you visit? BTW... they're all gone

now. Pasadena has done a revitalization to the older nudie bar area and now

it's a fancy shopping district for wealthy young'uns from JPL. Complete with

Starbucks and and Noble... <G>

in Pasadena

, I realize Pasadena cleaned up. as I recall there was a steak

house on Lincoln, off Colorado. My wife and I stayed on Colorado while

doing tourist things there, no bars then. There was a little breakfast

place that opened early down the street, and she liked her meal early. I

stayed there when I was at JPL, 6 weeks or so. They treated me pretty

well as a steady customer. Sam

I'll have to go check if that steak house is still there. Always ready for a

big juicy one!
