those 100 and 250 peso chips are somewhat akin to the 25¢ Fremont chip at its $3 craps table. You can win one, now and then, but the dealers make you give 'em back before you leave the table. Well, if you have four of them stacked up . . . swap 'em out for a $1 chip and they keep the fractionals at the gaming table.

Have fun at the casinos and I hope you turn up some goodies at the antique stores, too. They should have something akin to "swap meets" down there, too. Everyone stay home for Census Day?! Weird. What's their next holiday, Influenza Week, where everyone not only stays home but has to drink hot lemonade too? No wonder the Chilean Grapes have been in short supply lately at our markets!

Buena suerte, buena suerte!
