Just off the phone with Doug ordering the Boss #3 catalogue. He remarked that he was actually in the dark with no electricity. He said in a nutshell there'd been a fire next door (at his business?) and that he'd been "10-15 minutes from bankruptcy!" Ouch! That would have been a sad day. Didn't take too much of his time but assume that otherwise everything Chip Chat-wise was okay. Glad we're not going to have melted chips from the Saito collection to gawk at.

BTW, this delightful picture is on the UNLV website which features among other things a section on El Rancho Vegas. They show three images of ERV soap... slippery slope stuff!
