NTN Buzztime Cruisin'

We ended up stopping at eight new sites offering this game that we spend too much time playing.

There were two in Iowa at Ottumwa and six in Missouri. That puts us at a total of 51 sites in the Hawkeye State and 71 in the Show-Mes. In addition, these eight made it 35 for the year and an overall total of 893 all across the US.

Even though most often we just have pop, these days that is usually $2 to $2.50 and with tax just shy of $3. So, for two drinks and tip, that is usually around $7 a trip.

Both were in Ottumwa, Radar O'Riley's supposed hometown in MASH. And, both about as far apart as you can get in the "Bridge City.

RECOVERY ROOM-- on the far west side, about three and a half miles from our motel. As usual, we were the only ones playing. We were still full from the gyros in Illinois, but the food looked really good.

They have a big fish tank behind the bar with three iridescent sharks, one of whom was an albino. They follow the bartender all around begging for food. They got them about four inches long, but the two regulars are about a foot long.


BENCHWARMERS-- the perfect way to play NTN-Buzztime on the road as there is a motel right next to it called the Stardust and you can get a room for around $50. AND, THEY HAD PLAYERS in there when we were there. Although, they sat in a corner away from the bar and never said anything to us (probably because we were sort of dominating the boards). They did not appear to be playing team.

We had some really good homemade salsa and chips. ROADOG #16 LIZARD #20 one game. Then we had a site ranking of #20 and even a #10.
