This restaurant provides an obvious advantage to me -- It's within walking distance of one place that I work. Located in a strip-mall setting, you probably wouldn't expect the quality of the food to be what it is.

It's no surprise that Arizona is constantly under construction. With Phoenix being the fastest growing city in the country, new roads and freeways are popping up all over the place. Every weekend now there is a major road closure, or a freeway is taken down to a single lane.

A couple of guys were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden.

Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods, and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

"Let's see yer fishin' license, Boy!!" the Warden gasped.

With that, the fella pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a valid fishing license.
