It is a fully licensed, adult entertainment establishment...ie. strip club.

Chuck Norton, "seven inches of rain in the past few days" doesn't exactly sound like "year-round sunshine" to me. JK. Hope everyone still has the same real estate they started with before the rains came. Good Luck.

According to the news, some of it's begining to move. Scary.

In Kansas you can watch your dog run away for 3 days.

Vic,

It is a place where there are life size blow up dolls and manicans. But they are made to look attractive. I've seen in movies where lonly people need some friends around the house every so often and position them as if they were at a party . You put two of them together to look as if they are having a conversation, one sitting down with a drink in its hand, one waving, etc. They make them look so attractive that it would make a man say an old phrase such as "hey baby". Hence, Baby Dolls.

Hope this clears things up for you. As far as the $1 bills, I don't know, I believe they are more expensive than that, especially if you are taking it home.

At first I thought it was a place where babies can purchase dolls.

U/SA it depends on how you "look" at it

Baby Dolls must have something of interest in there. One night a guy rode with us to the motel and told me to just let him out at Baby Dolls and he would find his own way back to the room! He finally did come dragging in at almost daylight.

Also very typical of Topeka is a head wind at least 15 mph stronger than anything during qualifying,and it was a constant 20 mph wind then! Also,sometimes the wind will turn around for 1st round and be a 15 mph tail wind. Baby Dolls is good entertainment,and Pat`s Pig is awesome BBQ! Enjoy!

The air museum is right next to the track, Kanas museum of history. Or just goggle Topeka things to do. Boss Hogs is a great place to eat. Stinnets shop is just down the road it just depends what you like. Tom

Ken,

When I was a kid, back on the farm, we got seven inches of rain while I was at a double-feature movie one Saturday night. We had to wait until morning for the water to go down far enough so that we could cross the creek to get home. This wasn't quite that dramatic except in the high-risk areas.

Looks as if this system has moved on as of this morning, thanks for the concern. I doubt that we dried the storm out completely but I think we wrung most of the moisture out of it out between here and Barstow. Today we should have 60°+ with sunshine and most of the rest of the winter will be a carbon copy. We'll be working on the race cars in tee-shirts. Except for the unfortunate souls who have consciously chosen to live in those high-risk areas for the purpose of seeking seclusion or affirming their elevated economic status, we are relatively unscathed.

My granddad imparted a few bits of wisdom to us a couple of generations back. They're merely common-sense things that farm boys need to know like, "Always drink upstream from the herd," but one of the most important was the reminder to always look around before choosing a place to live. For the most part, basic geologic truths serve us well, i.e., canyons have become canyons because water naturally follows that path until it reaches sea level. If you choose to live in a canyon, you will eventually be subjected to more water than you can deal with. This is only one example and it does nothing to address the basic question that faces Californians, "What will you do when the "Big One" hits? But then, life anywhere carries certain risks. You pay your money and take your chances.

For the time being, we're fine. Thanks for asking.
