Website for locating best gas prices and alternative fuels
The latest edition of the National Limousine Associations e-News contained an article about a great new website. At this site you will find links that will help you locate the lowest gas prices in the area (currently 3.65 a gallon at the Costco on Auburn Blvd.), links to alternative fuel dealers and side by side comparisons of various flex-fuel vehicles.
The site also contains explanations as to how alternative fuel sources actually work as well as some does and dont's (here is my favorite don't - "You should never fuel your vehicle with clean or used grease or vegetable oil that has not been converted to biodiesel. It will damage your engine." Dah!).

Thank you Sacramento!
All of us at Luxury Limousines would like to thank our loyal customers for helping to make August 2008 our second busiest month ever! This is especially good news as August is traditionally a somewhat slower month for the limousine industry.
I also want to thank my wonderful management team,as well as the admin staff, and especially the chauffeurs who continue to deliver the outstanding customer service that makes us stand apart from our competitors.

The Limo Driver and the Cardiologist
If you read my profile, you know I have a very fun cardiologist. As luck would have it, we had dinner with him last night - interestingly, he was the only one of us who had red meat - hmmm....
Anyway, this morning will searching limo stories, I came across this joke and just couldn't resist positing it - sorry Dave!
A Cardiologist came up with a new operating procedure that would cut down the time that heart surgery would take and would cause less trauma to the patient. He was praised by his peers when he presented it at a convention in Washington D.C. He was also paid $50,000 to present his findings.
The cardiologist did a few more of these presentations and realized that it would be more lucrative to do lectures on his findings rather than continue to work as a surgeon. So he decided to do the lectures full-time. He hired a driver and purchased a limousine.
One day, after he'd been doing the lecture circuit for about 6 months, his driver turns to him and says, "You know... This is completely unfair.""What do you mean?" asks the surgeon."Well, you get paid $50,000 every time you do this lecture and that's more than I get paid in a year," replies the driver.The surgeon explains to him that it is a very complicated procedure and that he is the only person that can give this lecture."That's not true. I can do your lecture blindfolded. I have seen you do your lecture so many times that I know it by heart," says the driver."Well if that's the case, I'll tell you what. You do this lecture and you can keep the $50,000 if you do it right." replies the surgeon.The driver replies, "Ok. You're on."
So when they arrive at the lecture hall, the surgeon and the driver change coats and the surgeon puts on the driver's hat and sits in the back of the room.The driver nails the presentation. Not only that, he also answers all the questions without any problems. Just when the driver thinks he's done, an audience member, wearing a lab coat and tape covered glasses stands up and asks a complex question that the driver is not able to answer."You know..." says the driver, "I have done this lecture 287 times and I have never been asked such a stupid question. As a matter of fact, that question is SO stupid that I am going to let my driver answer it."

We add another Sonoma winery to our recommended list
Morton's Thursday night free wine tastings continue to be a great place to relax and network. Last night I had the pleasure of meeting Aeron Heath, the Northern CA Manager for Freixenet (pronounced "fresh-eh-net") and Gloria Ferrer.
I am a long time consumer of Gloria Ferrer's very reasonably priced Sparkling Wine (which by the way is made in the traditional methode champenoise); in fact this is one of the wines we feature in our limos as gifts to our customers. However, last night I tried their Jose S Ferrrer Pinot Noir, which all of us thought was simply outstanding. As a consequence, even through I haven't personally been to their winery (yet), I feel confident in adding these wineries to our Sonoma County recommended list.
