Went to SEDONA, which is certainly crossword-worthy. No SEDALIA in sight. <BR/><BR/>Wanted to put $10 on Rex to capture the 2009 ACPT B finals but it appears to be the only event you can't bet on in Vegas.

Reminds me of scraps of paper that I would find (and hoard) in a coffee shop I worked in in San Francisco.
