Highly innovative and successful Park City restaurateur, Nascar, reports that he is the new owner of El Chubasco, Park City, UT.
Ball is in my court to pick a Raiders game to attend as Nascar's guest in Las Vegas. We also talked about upcoming F1 Road Race in Vegas.

After finding no chopsticks in the paper plates, plastic spoons aisle, I asked a store employee where I could find chopsticks. She said, "in the pharmacy section." I paused, raised my eyebrows and queried, "why would they put them there." "I don't know," she said, "but that's where they are." I walked up and down the aisles of the pharmacy section and couldn't find chopsticks. Finally, I asked the pharmacist where the chopsticks were. He pointed to a section on one of the adjacent aisles. I walked over. Still, I couldn't find them. I told the pharmacist I still couldn't find them. "What did you say you want," he asked. "Chopsticks," I replied. "Oh, the pharmacist exclaimed. "I thought you said chap stick. You can find chopsticks on the other side of the store at the sushi bar." Sheepishly, I departed the scene, walked across the store, and picked up some chopsticks."

Out and about in the 392.
On the steep, gnarly ascent to the Browse Guard Shack and the Sequoia tree, we stopped to offer assistance to a man and two children standing by a seeming disabled four door, Wrangler Jeep. The man thanked us for stopping. He said the oil temperature gauge of his Wrangler was showing oil overheating. He would, he said, wait there for a while before restarting his vehicle. Meanwhile, he handed us the rubber duck shown in the image. He said, "you've been ducked." The man told us that handing out rubber ducks was a practice among off road jeep owners. He said we could keep the duck or pass it along to another jeep driver.
