These pictures were taken in June.

Tonight I'm hanging out with a friend at Valenca's. I've been to Valenca's many times over the past year or so. I like the bar and restaurant, the staff is friendly and it's 5 minutes from my house.

For comparison sake if I go to Valenca's for the night my bill is about $30, if I go into NYC my bill is about $100 on a good night. With NYC you have $4 for the NJ Turnpike, $8 for the Lincoln Tunnel, Taxi's are about $20 for the night, If I go to 3 bars I'll have about a $60 bill and then I use about $15 worth of gas. I love NYC, but sometimes there's nothing like being local.

Now if I was a Corporate Executive then it wouldn't matter. LOL.

Special Thank you to Joe for the stockings. I appreciate you coming through once again.
