Life returns to normal, almost - with my bum hip, I was able to stroll about for maybe an hour but then my leg gave out and I had to call it quits earlier than expected. Got some blueberries and a toilet brush also - the Chinese lady offering the brush (among many other household odds and ends) recognized me, even with my black mask on, and said, "Welcome back!" Pretty much all of the same vendors showed up, attendance was not bad either. All had to wear masks but the "six foot rule," although heavily advertised, was not really enforced. One little change I noted: rather than stamping your hand when leaving to allow for re-entry, Kobey's personnel now offer you a yellow ticket, by which you can return. I guess they don't want to risk squashing a Coronavirus hitching on your hand with their rubber stamp!
The typical assortment of old chips / advertisers / some cruise ship pins. The little round pin reciting The Captain's Circle states FIRST OFFICER above that. I'll have to wear it on my next Princess Cruise and if everyone starts saluting, I'll have to respond with something Maritime like "Midships the Rudder! Full Steam Ahead!"
No idea why the 50ยข Sycuan is dark brown, the chip must originally have been orange and was damaged by light? But it's the same shade of brown on either side. At least four advertisers are not yet on the ChipGuide so Administrators wanting to reach the 250,000 mark may rejoice.
