Food is Still King

I had to wake Momoko up early today. There was a session at the conference that I had to see. And Momoko wanted to eat at a sit down restaurant before heading over to the conference.

So I let Momoko choose the lunch spot. It was this little diner that sponsored the conference. When we got there, we stood in line. The sign said, "Seat yourself." All the tables were full. I tried to encourage the group in front of us to hurry up and sit down in an empty spot. Finally I asked them if we could just go to one of the tables ourselves, seeing as there were plenty of tables they could have already sat at.

Lunch was good. The place was called the Steel City Diner. If you are in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I highly recommend them. Their prices are reasonable. And the food it good. The ham steak and chicken breast meals are delicious. I advise you to try their potato salad. After that we headed to the conference, where I asked a panel of gamers a bunch of questions.

Good Priced Gas

Last night I drove by the local gas station. They always have the cheapest gas. But there was an extra long line in front just to get in. As I passed by, I saw the reason. Gas had hit $1.99 for 87 octane.

Maybe it was a fluke. I was still happy to see it. Other gas stations will have to lower their price to compete. Today at lunch we passed another gas station we usually stop at. They also had $1.99 a gallon for the low octane. Sweet.

Now I know the trick at this gas station. The gas is filled with ethanol. You know. That's the stuff that is made from corn. It is not good for your car. But two bucks for gas is good for my wallet. The cat mobile will have to make due.
