Let me chuck some good old Texas BBQ out here for today.I've been busy all day, and FINALLY get to log on to FR. I just got real hungry, and may have to make a trip to Elgin tomorrow.

I am in Elgin often visiting my mom. There is some mighty fine eatin' up there! I always bring back some fresh sausage to enjoy later.

I went through Elgin on Monday, brought some sausage home for the wife, and she has already finished it all. I was hunting for the ziploc I’d put it into and it is GONE.

That is so cute, TS.

You know, I tried using that joke today and discovered something.
Everyone I know thinks that the capital of Alaska is either Anchorage or Fairbanks or possibly Nome (there's no place like it). Or the letter "A".

And, furthermore, nobody watches "Jeopardy" either, but it was the final answer last night.

LOL! Doesn’t surprise me that no one knows that the capitol is Juneau. The state population is about 500,000 and 1/2 live in Anchorage. And you cannot drive to Juneau....plane or boat are the only way.

I really wanted to go buy some BBQ today, but had too much lawn work. I picked up 10 40 gallon bags of leaves today with my lawnmower.
