Cashing in Their Chips

While doing some errands yesterday morning before heading into the office, I noticed that the fish & chips shop located near my apartment has closed. (Those SFSFC directors reading this may remember it as the place some of us went after one Board meeting at the Centerville station.)

Back in that long and contentious discussion of the Hugo Awards, George R.R. Martin said a couple of things that I found interesting, but didn't comment on a whole lot at the time.
