 RH>> The wallet has, besides the usual cash & cards, a zip pocket that I

 RH>> tablets, a couple of saftey pins and a few other odds & ends. The
 RH>> wallet would be number 5 on the list of essentials.
 NB>> My wallet has cards, ID, cash/coin, safety pins, paperclips, spare
 NB>> keys, a small pencil, bobby pins, stamps... not sure what else, but
 NB>> have tucked in a pill or two on occasion, too...  And all in the
 NB>> space of about 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 or so...  ;)   I could probably add a
 NB>> flashlight or such to the keyring, but haven't really needed them. 

 RH> Amazing, isn't it, how we tuck so many little things into a relatively
 RH> small space and still have room for our money? (G)

Not that we have fat rolls of bills or anything...  (G)  I do try not to
have too many small bills, though, or too much change, as there isn't
much room in there...  ;)
 
 NB>>> Right...  so it can either be a way of breaking into the market,
 NB>>> or an adjunct to an existing restaurant...  :)
 RH>> I've seen them both ways, very often starting as a truck and then
 RH>> moving to a fixed site. I think more trucks are on the road now because
 RH>> the economy isn't the greatest for starting a brick & mortar place and
 RH>> a truck will satisfy the "need to cook" some folks have.
 NB>> One of my nephews has a food truck that is the starting point for what
 NB>> he hopes will be a career in cooking...  And I've seen food trucks for
 NB>> Red Osier around, both in the airport and at office complexes, which I
 NB>> know is a brick&mortar restaurant of some age and duration, I think
 NB>> down in Avon or that vicinity...  :)

 RH> Checking out a potential expansion? Helps to know if the area will
 RH> support that kind of food before opening a restaurant catering to it.

Probably not planning an expansion...  they seem to be just adding to
their base by having the food trucks and the kiosks...
 
 RH>>> Every few months I see there's a food truck "rodeo" in Raleigh,
 RH>>> Durham or Chapel Hill where a number of truck set up in a
 RH>>> certain place, usually on a Sunday tho, so that leaves us out.
 NB>>> Your Life Group meets just about every Sunday....?
 RH>> Just about every Sunday, yes. Sometimes we just do accountability and
 RH>> split but most weeks we have a meal with it. Also, the church does a
 RH>> combined Life Group event every so often when we just meet (picnic,
 RH>> Super Bowl chili cook off, etc) where we just eat and visit with
 RH>> others.
 NB>> So you'd not be free to check out the food truck rodeo while it
 NB>> gathers...  :)

 RH> Sigh! No.

Unless it happened to fall on an otherwise unoccupied Sunday... oh,
well....  Maybe they'll set up the rodeo on a weekday or a Saturday
sometime...  :)
