Gas for the drive to Commerce: $5.00 [/ QUOTE ] You forgot to include time cost. The traffic was so bad I was hoping everyone would have had to pay $10 per gallon gas.

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the lunch. Later I felt guilty for not thinking of taking care of the tip so next one is on me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Regards, Rick PS We ended up going directly to the Getty from Commerce. Wonderful place in this uncultured hick's opinion and John the cultured non-hick really enjoyed it despite me walking him to near exhaustion. We had a great day and were able to scout the incredibly jammed 405 from the East Promenade for a final escape around 8:00 pm. As it were, I passed on the still semi-jammed 405 when I saw the sign for Sepulveda and treated my guest to what a real navigator could do on "surface streets" (an expression we've never heard used in Rhode Island/Massachusetts). I tried to treat John to "The Restaurant"; fortunately we couldn't get a reservation so I saved a "C" note. As a backup we went to an In-N-Out, where the hamburgers and fries were cooked to perfection and John had the ultimate Southern California fast food chain experience. I probably wouldn't have thought of going there (Getty, not In-N-Out) without your suggestion so thanks again. |

Re: Cost Comparison
Glad you enjoyed it. Amazing what you can build with an unlimited budget, isn't it?
