Heavy stuff, methinks.
Thanks, Star!
You're a good man.
Wouldn't be the Holidays without you posting that, lol.
Thanks.
A little late, but thanks.
Hope ya write only good stuff then, lol.
Thank you!
Is it possible to change my pick to Cincinnati?
Thinking my Dallas pick was entered too late.
Dallas, please
Hope EVERYONE enjoys the day...
and don't forget the 'thanks' part.
Meanwhile...back to gettin' some bills paid.
See ya's soon, I hope.
Lol, I looked, but couldn't find anything even close.
Haven't driven it in almost a year now...couldn't get my license renewed due to health probs.
And Missy would prefer to trade it for something a bit more practical and especially more comfortable.
But I still like everything about it, lol.
Back when...
A local band used to cover this one just great, and I'd just HAVE to get up and dance to it.
Awright!
Good run of tunes, bud.
Thanks!
Great version!
Always liked that song, and like both Tracy and Eric too.
Nice...what a voice.
Thought I already had you marked, but just made up for that.
Like those kind too, bud.
Hey, Son...
Had to give ya a mark for those tunes. I like most of them.
Thanks!
Pittsburgh please.
Thanks for all the good music you guys put up.
You're the best!
Hi, Guy!
TOTALLY agree!
The snitch sure did a job on us...ruined a good thing everyone was enjoying...simply because of his/her own jealousy. Sad that people have to live like that.
Missy was so disgusted by it that she just washed her hands and walked away from it. I was about to follow when Fred came around and started doing YouTube songs/videos. If not for him I would have walked away too.
But, it's just not the same. After 6-7 years of doing this, I think a bit of the lustre has worn off of it, and my health has aslo contributed greatly.
All in all, there are more and more times when I'd rather just be on a farm somewhere.
The good friends here is all that keeps me from doing just that sometimes.
Hey, Tim.
Just saying there's that wit from nit again.
Hi, Nite.
I liked that!

Chipotle Finalizes London Location

Chipotle Finalizes London Location
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) (NYSE: CMG.B), the US-based chain of burrito restaurants known for serving “Food with Integrity,” has secured its first London location and is finalizing design and building plans. The restaurant, located at 114-116 Charing Cross Road, will be Chipotle’s first location in Europe and is slated to open in April of 2010.
“We are very encouraged by the prospects for Chipotle in the UK,” said Steve Ells, founder, chairman and co-chief executive officer of Chipotle. “London has become an important food city over the years, especially because of the awareness of and desire for things like locally sourced, seasonal, and artisanal ingredients. These are all core values of Chipotle and we have been instrumental in bringing this kind of thinking to fast food in the U.S. We call it ‘Food with Integrity’ and it is how we are changing the way people think about fast food. We believe Londoners will appreciate our efforts to serve food that is raised right and in a way that is so accessible.”
In the U.S., Chipotle is the only restaurant chain that is committed to serving food made with ingredients from sustainable sources, including meat from animals that are humanely raised, never given antibiotics or added hormones, and fed a pure vegetarian diet, local and organic produce, and milk from cows that are not treated with synthetic hormones.
All of Chipotle’s 900-plus restaurants offer a limited menu consisting of burritos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla), tacos and salads. Because customers choose exactly what goes into their individual order, however, there are more than 60,000 possible combinations, allowing Chipotle to meet virtually any set of dietary restrictions or preferences.
The majority of Chipotle’s growth through 2010 will be in the United States, though the company continues to look for additional sites in London. Beyond its interest in the UK, Chipotle has also started to look for locations in Paris and Munich, but has not identified specific sites or released timelines for expansion into these markets.
“In many ways, the food culture in Europe matches our priorities much more closely than in the U.S.,” said Ells. “I think we’ll be able to source beautiful ingredients from local and sustainable sources from the time we open in the UK, and establish sustainable supply chains elsewhere as we look at other European markets.”
The landlord for Chipotle’s first London restaurant is London-based Estates & Agency Holdings Limited. The company is working with local brokerage firms in London, Paris and Munich to help identify potential locations as it looks for additional sites.
About Chipotle
Steve Ells, founder, chairman and co-CEO, started Chipotle with the idea that food served fast did not have to be a typical fast food experience. Today, Chipotle continues to offer a focused menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads made from fresh, high-quality raw ingredients, prepared using classic cooking methods and served in a distinctive atmosphere. Through our vision of Food with Integrity, Chipotle is seeking better food not only from using fresh ingredients, but ingredients that are sustainably grown and naturally raised with respect for the animals, the land, and the farmers who produce the food. Chipotle opened its first restaurant in 1993 and currently operates more than 900 restaurants. For more information, visit Chipotle.com.
