The Roy Rogers chain was sold in 1990 to Imasco, then the parent company of Hardee's, and experienced severe decline as many locations converted to Hardee's. In 2002, the trademark was purchased by Plamondon Companies. RH> It has been a while since we've been in a Carl's Jr; having the camper RH> we now usually fix our own lunches.

Yesterday's haul had coupons for Popeyes, Subway, Burger King, Hardee's and Little Caesar's (who have improved their pizza greatly). Once in a while there is even a McD's sheet of coupons. The bundle also contains window, siding and gutter hutles. As well as a BelTone hearing aid flyer and general beauty & bath merch coupons.

I had an '87 Honda Accord I'd likely still be driving had that tool truck (Mac Tools dealer) not blown a stop sign just as I was entering the intersection. 30 mph to zero in a jiffy. And a dandy cut on my forehead. I did have my seatbelt on which no doubt saved more hurts. At the time it was wrecked it had over 200,000 miles on it. My current ride, Bruno the Beemer has been to the moon and is on his way home - 250,000 miles and still going strong. DD> Title: Navy S.O.S.
