We used to go to Restaurant Morelia, then they closed. Then we went to Cancun Cafe, then they closed. What is a decent, inexpensive restaurant that serves American-Mexican fare? Please don’t say La Frontera or La Puente.

I bought a used Mits that was two years old and had 15,000 miles on it. I told myself if I got 100,000 miles out of it I’d be elated. Well, I’ve owned it for 14 years and it now has 246,000 miles on it. And in all that time I’ve only spent $900 on repairs. I had to replace a CV axle. Of course, I’m not counting maintenance like tires, oil changes, batteries. Most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned, better than my Ford, Subaru, Toyota, and Jeep.

A few years ago our family was on the south side of St John and we came across the Virgin Island Environmental Resource Station. We pulled in and got out of our jeep and the place looked to be deserted. Soon though, a young man and woman came out to talk to us. They seemed edgy and nervous for some reason but they told us there was a small museum we could visit. I can’t remember what it was all about, mostly about an underwater lab experiment that was conducted around there quite a while ago. There were people following us around the whole time but staying out of sight. It was all a bit creepy, like they were afraid we were going to steal something or we were going to open a door and see all

Poor Saratoga Springs, used to be the quiet little bedroom community tucked behind the northwest corner of Utah Lake. I made the mistake of going down to the TSC store on Saturday and just about started bawling over the gridlocked traffic and rampant unchecked development. If I couldn’t have seen the mountains I never would have guessed I was anywhere in Utah. Do they even have a planning department down there or is it just one big free-for-all?

Does anyone know where I can get decent store bought sushi? I wouldn’t expect it to be like Takashi, or Itto, or Mint. Just respectable and not smothered in three kinds of gross sauce. Sort of a last minute, on the way home purchase. Thanks.

I belong to a nearby gym but went to EoS just to check it out. Could not believe the vanity, like VASA on steroids. Super unhealthy fitness vibe.

Does anyone know of a grocery store that sells jalapeños that have some bite? Every grocery store I’ve tried (Smith’s, Harmon’s, Dan’s, Macey’s, Reams, Walmart, Winco) sells those big, fat tame jalapeños that don’t taste much different than a bell pepper. Even Rancho Market jalapeños are mild. Anyone?

Anyone remember the C’est Bon? Years ago I saw a Hoyt Axton - Nicolette Larson concert in the basement of that place. It was the funnest show I’ve ever been to.
