$0.49 Breakfast

No shit. I paid 49 cents for breakfast. And not that crappy "continental" breakfast. Real breakfast... with eggs and hashbrowns.

I went up to Cripple Creek with TG to ride the narrow gauge railroad. It brought me back to my Disney days as a conductor on the steam trains. The big difference was the size of the trains and that these were coal burning instead of deisel.

Anyhow, we arrived early and were planning on breakfast. I didn't realize that Cripple Creek was a gambling town (slots only), so the casinos almost give away food to entice their clients to stick around. Damn good breakfast.

In a sense, it was like going back in time, when a dollar was worth something. It was marvelous. The total bill, with coffee and a side of green chili---$3.70. Awesome!

I wish I had categories on this blog like you do on wordpress... I'd definitely put it under "cheap bastard".
