@2-Bit Speed and @SkyChaser have high standards, though. There’s a gas station near their home in S Ga that has terrific bbq.

I thought Dickey’s ribs were decent (not great, but not bad), but that’s all I ever tried there. AggieMike and some of the other Dallas POAers introduced me to Hard 8 on one of my Dallas trips and it was pretty good. I had a good sampling.

I still have my sash. E. Urner Goodman, who founded OA, retired to FL and was a member of our lodge. Neat, neat guy. He autographed my Brotherhood sash. OA, the original WWW. ;)

Yeah, I'm afraid that's true. The local community is all but gone. We've lost more than we realize as a result. In my neighborhood, many of the parents had grown up knowing each other, had gone to the same schools, went to the same churches, some of the dads worked together and carpooled...

Wait until you meet Rancid Crabtree and The Troll. Always enjoyed McManus’ stuff. A few of his books are within arm’s reach right now, in fact.
