Yeah. Forecast is below zero at night for the next few days. We're way up at 8°F now. Ugh.

Melt the poles and bring on the beach.

I love upstate NY. Came through from Burlington to Buffalo a few years back after a driving trip to Nova Scotia. Mountains are almost as pretty as ours.:laughing7:

But the food can't compete with Tennessee! I used to work for International Paper and got to Vergo's Rendezvous on Second St in Memphis three times a year. Yummmmm. Everyone up here thinks BBQ has to be covered in half an inch of sauce.

I'm glad you mentioned that Charlie. We are planning a trip to Memphis so our son can see where the Blues started and I was trying to find a good BBQ place. When I lived in NC, I was close to Champion Paper plant in Canton. Phew!!! And you right. Good BBQ is how well the meat is smoked, and sauce can add a combo taste, not over power it.

Ah yes. Lots of fond memories as the pasty white Yankee at B.B.King's half-s beat late and a dollar short. Always a great time, though.

IP was a weird group. Much like the agent in your avatar. At a certain level they all turn to executroids and lose human traits. When you're bad they send you to a mill. Natchez, MS and Courtland, AL were nasty, nasty places. I work at a waste water treatment plant now and it's all roses and sweetness compared to those spots (I believe both were closed down recently).

Have a great trip.

I'm sure glad you said "almost",after living down in those Great Smoky Mountains...NOTHING comes close.

Best place I ever lived.

I condidered SpongeBob, but the nemesis of Neo seemed more appropriate. (MISTER Anderson.........)
