I don’t think there are any windmills or any mills in the vicinty of the restaurant. However, I think I’ll be there as of this moment. I promise to be socially acceptable. 🙂 ---

> [@Cisco](#): > > They’re actually “grinders” but you’re pretty much spot-on the translation. Do you speak Spanish? Just enough to get me a beer and a hotel room. 🙂 But in all honesty, I often buy a very nice Spanish _Valdepeñas_ from the local supermarket, and it’s from a winery called _Los Molinos_. The picture on the label has a bunch of windmills on it. Being a smart lad, I put two and two together, what with it sounding quite similar to the French “moulin” and all. 😃 ---

> [@Cisco](#): > > No just what is _that_ supposed to mean? No accosting people with signs in the parking lot?! :D. No signs (you may cheer now), no looking like a bag lady, no walking to the restaurant, no pretending strangers are really Dopers, stuff like that. I don’t promise not to have a few too many, however… 😛 ---

And I finally see this thread. I’m very rarely in MPSIMS anymore. The girlfriend and I are going to Biosphere 2 for the day, but that closes at 4:00, after which we’ll be heading back up Phoenix way. We should be able to make it. I think I have **Padeye** ’s cell phone number (email me if it’s changed anytime within the past couple of years, Steve), so I’ll give him a call if we run into any problems along the way. We are talking Central Ave, right? That’s the only Los Dos Molinos around anymore, right? ---
