At last, chips! Key fobs, tokens and such are great but sometimes a guy just has to get his mitts on the real thing from casinos.

A few items appear to be quite scarce, submissions being made to ChipGuide ASAP. The Terrible's chip came from the table at the new Roadhouse Casino in Jean. Which table, you ask? Why, the only one they use! With a set-up like that, it's hard to make a buy without the Pit Boss noticing; fortunately, the lady Boss ("Bossette"?) was in good spirits Thanksgiving afternoon and approved my request. Thanx, Terrible People!

On Friday, off to visit Rich Burgel at Lost Vegas Antiques. Great store, great company; returned on Saturday and spent most of the day going through his Aquarium, looking for the odd, the unusual, and the missing-from-my-collection. I was not disappointed, either in the stock or the stories swapped about growing up in the Miami Beach area.

Afterwards, I was tempted to get married at the Wedding Chapel next door but it seems there are no single girls left in Las Vegas. At least that's what one lass told me as she dashed away.
