Case: We had 8 golfers playing the Pines on Friday.  The range is a poor excuse as there is NO GRASS on the tee box. The course condition was similar....thin grass on fairways, no grass off the fairway (only weeds), bunkers not raked & very slow & bumpy greens.  On top of the playing conditions, the pace of play was horrible....2 hours & 50 minutes for the front nine.  We quit at the turn.  At least they gave us a refund & only charged us for 9 holes.  Never going back!!!

Case: When I go to a car dealership, it pretty consistently results in me spending an ungodly amount of time thinking about what jerks the people working there are and how they're going to charge me absurd amounts of money for \""labor rates\"" that are in no way proportionate to the amount of labor I see occurring around me.  So now you know my preexisting bias.\n\nChasse Toyota was different.  You might ask, \""How?\""  \n\nI didn't even make it through the door.  They were such pains in the ass on the phone that I was already overwhelmed by how much I wanted to light my car on fire instead of having to deal with getting the work done.  I called to find out a ballpark price for changing my American odometer to a metric one.  This sounds like about 10 minutes of work to me.  Granted, I'm no car genius (hence the need to go to a mechanic), but seriously.  I was transferred eight (8!!!) times before I hung up and startled my cat by shouting a string of obscenities.  7/8 of those times, I started talking and someone cut me off with, \""I'm going to transfer you to ______.\""  \n\nThe one time someone said something else before transferring me was when a lady informed me that the labor for this process would cost $200.  I figure that for $200, my odometer should not only be metric, but it should dispense chocolates to me every 15 kilometers and sing the mileage when I ask it to.  At a minimum, the phone conversation I have to have before said $200 process should not make me want to incinerate Ruthie.  God only knows what the part would cost (and I'm kinda using \""God only knows\"" literally because it seems that no one at Chasse Toyota knows).\n\nLong story short: Chasse Toyota is exceptional because they have managed to become my least helpful car dealership experience ever, and that was a truly dismal achievement.

Case: Magicians are elegant con men.  There really is no such thing as Magic\n\nIf there was, people would be disappearing all over the place...just think, want a pizza with anchovies, lets just make one appear seemingly out of nowhere\n\nStill, the how the heck did he BS me(aka Magic) still has an allure, doesnt it?  Lance Burton really does some great sleight of hand, and yes Lance we are impressed when you roll up your sleeves and a card appears in your hand...but try it without your ubiquitous vest on...\n\nHave to admit, there were a couple of tricks, which left me guessing...and Lance is a good entertainer and his show is worthwhile...even for the cynical

Case: Best Vegan bakery in Phoenix! The staff is so kind and friendly to talk to. They are even willing to offer gluten free options if you call and ahead and give them some notice. Definitely my favorite sweet spot in Phoenix!!!!

Case: First time I came to Vegas, I stayed at the Palms Place so Luxor was a major downgrade. It looked nice from the outside, but the rooms seemed pretty old. It also felt like we were always stuck inside the pyramid! We seriously ended up spending too much time there. Luxor is also at the end of the strip. Next time, I'll be staying at a more modern hotel & in the middle of the strip.\n\nA star for it being cheap and a star for a nice pool.

Case: This place is a great lunch spot for vegans, vegetarians and healthy folk alike. The variety of prepared  teas is incredible and they offer most of their teas loose to take home and brew as well. As a bad vegetarian that eats fish on occasion, this is a favorite place of mine to enjoy a purely vegetarian meal packed with fresh flavors. \n\n My absolute favorite is a wrap and cup of soup. Usually I opt for the Black Bean Sunflower Wrap, which has black bean sunflower hummus, with mixed greens, jack cheese, red onions, carrot, celery, cucumber, bell pepper,\nheirloom tomato, and spicy chipotle salsa. I have discovered that no matter what their soup of the day is, it is always perfect! Last time the watermelon gazpacho was perfect for the warm weather and today the french onion and mushroom soup hit the spot. The staff is always helpful and seem to know the menu very well. Thank you Chakra 4 for filling up my belly with healthy goodness!
