I did one of those "turn too short" deals with my car last year. I did
the repair on the guy's pickup with a cloth and some cleaner/polish I
had in the truck. But it co$t mt 1400 bux down the body shop to put the
Beemer right.

I noticed they finally put a "Coming Soon" sign on a major construction
project - which I though from the design was to be a strip mall. Instead
the sign proclaims "GRAND BUFFET" and opening soon. That sucker is literally
a city block long. WOW!

Our was closed during the pandemic. But they used to time to remodel and fix
things up.

Watch out for sugar shock. Bv)=
