Just by chance I happened upon a listing for Elephant Butte in Praized.

Don’t ask what I was looking for but it found me.

I laughed in my best Bart Simpson voice when I found it. (I like when I’m able to come across those locations which have a slight giggle-worthy quality about them).

Elephant Butte also has a heart. They sponsor a regular Elephant Man Triathalon around various locations throughout New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and Georgia

If anyone manages to find any elephants in Elephante Butte, please send photos.

Where can you get a good spaghetti salad?

A member of the Praized Tribe has pointed to the Angelo Pietro restaurant in Honolulu as being well worth checking out for a meal.

I was quite interested to see a dish called Spaghetti Salad on their menu and wondered “Could it be that 2 of my favourite foods have joined forces in one”.

A little background on this chain of restaurants in that on December 9, 1980, the first Pietro Spaghetti Restaurant was opened in Tenjin, Fukuoka, Japan. Many years later, they boast over 100 locations throughout Japan (and Honolulu)…

Pinball Wizards with a social conscience: Tim Arnold's Pinball Hall of Fame

Stop into Tim Arnold’s Pinball Hall of Fame the next time you’re in Las Vegas and you’ll not only get to see the world’s largest pinball collection, but you’ll get to feel good about playing games - old school style.

The Pinball Hall of Fame is a registered 501c3 non-profit. It relies on visitors stopping by to play these games, restored pinball machine sales, and ‘This Old Pinball’ repair dvd videos (available for sale at the museum). The PHoF has also helped out with fundraising for the local Salvation Army, accepting donations to benefit them. There is a candy vending stand, where the entire 25 cents of each quarter goes directly to the Salvation Army. And after the PHoF covers its monthly expenses for rent, electricity, insurance, endowment savings, the remainder of the money goes to the Salvation Army.
