Don't mind hotstamps, I've collected some pretty good ones. Got this one in the mail today. Got some snow too, it's beat down to frozen white marble tonight. Probably gonna have to lock in the differentials tomorrow and hang the triple railers but I'm weighing in at 79,000 so should dig in pretty good. Sipping a Snow Cap from the brewery at the north end of town and thinking about plain old chips.

This guy finally made Steve's 2nd edition as Bremerton WA. Opened '75 and listed as "yes", closed. Don't confuse Drift Inn Tavern with the Drift On In please. This tavern is on the other side of the Sound from Drift On In. Lots of trees around Bremerton. More trees than people I'd wager. Got a Naval Shipyard there too. Drift Inn Tavern probably had a poker table. Some seven card stud or five card draw. Shoot, with all the swabbies and CPO's they might even been playing Spit-In-The Ocean. This round little fella didn't see much table time, probably missed a lot of stories traded over the felt. Drift is gone now but maybe it just got renamed, Bremerton hosts the Fuzzy Naval (nautical spelling ya know), Ammarato's Air Show Bar & Grill (they got some carriers parked out in the water at Bremerton), Brewski's and the South Seas Sports Bar, perhaps one of these has that old poker table over against the back wall.

Pretty cool chips they must have had there at that place near the water. Not the straight edge plain chips that TRKing was making down in L.A., this pretty has those nice rounded edges like U.S. Playing Card used to make. Wonder who was making these 30 years ago?
