Title: Where IS Del Dios?

"I ain't never seen Del Dios Country STore, where's it at?"

"It's outside or near Valley Center, I guess.  From what I hear its sorta
out there in the sticks, like one of the rurban areas of the county."

"Is it true that Boss has turned the whole thing over to Boom-boom?  She
gonna run the place?"

"Yeah, according to her, the Boss said he's going be her mentor or some-
thin' like that.  She wants him to teach her everything he knows about the
biker-bar business 'cause he's so successful..."

"Ha!  If he can remember any of it!  The dumb shit can't hardly remember
his own name sometimes."

Jake leans down, across the bar, face-to-face with the biker-beer-drinker,
and with a graceful touch of menace says, "Look, dude.  He's the Boss, I'm
like his Argus -- so WATCH WHAT YOU SAY about him --- and Boom-boom too,
got it?"

"Yeah, right.  I'd hate to piss Arg-ass off, wouldn't I, Jakey-boy?"
Both laugh, Jakes sets up another Hollenbeck Draft with olive for the Biker.
