GOTTA LOVE NEW TECHNOLOGY!

This just happened to me, and I must say, WOW, it blew my mind! I was driving to the store, and I noticed a van that looked just like this on the side of the road, parked close to the curb as if it were broken down or abandoned. I was traveling the other direction, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed all these very bright lights flashed quickly off of this van.... Hmm, what was going on? I was determined to find out, so when I headed back the other way, I pulled over about a block before the van and sat there and watched. I didn't see any flashes, but as I was getting ready to pull out into traffic, BAM, flashes o-plenty from the van...my hunch had been right, it was portable photo radar! As I carefully (under the speed limit) came up to the van about 500 feet before it, a small sign that read..."Police Photo Radar Ahead".... Now mind you I was extra aware because I was noticing everything, but I must say there is no way anyone see's that sign as you get closer to this van. I guess there must be some kind of law that says they must post a sign to do photo radar, after all they are taking a picture of your car and you behind the wheel. I just think this is amazing, that now you don't even need a law enforcement officer to give you a speeding ticket! Up until now, the only places they used this kind of equipment was at busy intersections and those are not for speeders they are only for people who go thru the red light. So obviously this new technology is one step ahead, since its in a van they can move it whenever and where ever they want! So be forewarned, this is now happening here in Denver, and probably wherever you are as well! Look out for the white van, oh I should mention the street I was on the speed limit was 35, this must have been set at 40.

YES, IT'S ANOTHER FOOD ISSUE!

Being from New York, I of course miss certain foods, so if you have been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know how excited I got when I found a place here in Denver serving Nathan's hot dogs... (They weren't the "Real" ones from NY). Anyway, today i am shopping in King Soopers and I walk by the hot dogs and i see a huge sign, NEW PRODUCT.... NY DELI HOT DOGS! Wow, finally a little piece of home for Rich! So needless to say I am excited about biting into one of these NY Deli dogs... I get home, boil some water, (Yes they do taste best when boiled) and I open the fridge take em out and as I am slicing open the package, I notice something I didn't see in the store...in small print under where it says NY DELI HOT DOGS, it says , are you ready for this..... MADE IN OHIO! Now to borrow a phrase from Tiffany, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OHIO???

Geeez, I fell for it again and got ripped off, yes I cooked them and tried them anyway, with the hope that maybe they would actually taste like the dogs you get in NY Deli's....
NOT EVEN CLOSE! Oh well, I think next time, I will def look at the fine print before paying for anything again!

THE SECRET!

WOW, if you have not seen this DVD yet, you must! Tiffany has been telling me about this for a while and like the fool I am, I put off watching it until the other night...boy am I sorry I didn't watch it sooner! It is very powerful, and the message is so obvious and clear. As time goes on I will write more about it, but I know it's working already that is all I can report now, it actually started working for me the day after I watched it! WOW!!!

ANOTHER FIASCO FOR DINNER...

It's Saturday night and we were getting ready to go to dinner....Tiffany says let's get BBQ tonite, in the past we have been to, Bono's BBQ and Bennet's BBQ, I have to say after living all over the south, I do know a bit about good BBQ, neither one of these places do, although its def not bad, just not real authentic BBQ. So tonite Tiffany says 'Let's try a different place..." I said OK , where, she says " Brothers BBQ", now mind you I am in no way racist, but when I heard about this place, I immediately thought, Yea Brothers BBQ, its gotta be some good BBQ! So I said , I am def in, lets go..... Well we should have known when we went in and had to wait in line to order our food, and the motif was motorcycles hanging from the ceiling that this was not the kind of place I had imagined! I'll let you get the picture of what I thought Brothers BBQ, was gonna be like.... OK so we both ordered the same thing, it was the half chicken special... half chicken and two sides 8.99 oh and it comes with a bun too... so here I am thinking , well how bad can this be.. as we were waiting for the food I was looking at the menu and I see half chicken 5.99 and sides are 1.49 each, so what the heck is the big deal about the special then? The bun maybe? After waiting patiently in an empty restaurant (That should have tipped us off on a Saturday night) the cashier brought our food over... Now let me start by saying we ordered two HALF CHICKEN DINNERS, for some reason she brought us what looked like two hens! IF these were chickens it must have come from the Gerber Farm in New Jersey.... the cole slaw wasn't shredded enough, they should have called that sliced cabbage, the fries had no taste and get this, its supposed to be a BBQ place, so one would think the bun would be like Texas toast or garlic bread, right? WRONG! It was a hamburger bun, plain and not even toasted, HELLO? What the heck is that all about??? Oh Well, we already paid and we were very hungry and its raining outside, how bad can this be, even though it looks weird and small, right? WRONG AGAIN Bucko! The chicken had no taste as did the fries and coleslaw as well, what to do? Try the 5 different BBQ sauces, which were all over the counter for sale... this was a new experience as well, I went to squeeze it on the chicken and it came out like water, and then we tried the others and guess what? They were all like water! We couldn't believe they actually sell this stuff at the counter to take home! Does anyone buy it? Well it was all we had, and hopefully water or no water, it would add some flavor to what turned out to be tasteless food, guess again, didn't help at all. So after ten mins went by, we were all done, and ready to go, but we had to clean our own table first! Yes they had garbage pails all set up like in McDonald's to clean up your own stuff...yes classy all the way here! Bottom line, if the Brother's aren't running the place, run away fast it ain't worth trying! Brothers BBQ in Denver...my rating out of ten, I give it a -5, and that is being kind! As usual, I welcome your thoughts.
