    OT: Jackson Memorial Stadium today.

    I worked for 16 years across the street from the stadium. It was normal to see buzzards on Monday and Tuesday after a game feasting on morsels left from tailgates. Sometimes they seemed to be so full that they’d have to wait to fly off.

    Well, I did it

    Another BBQ Topic - bacon and summer sausage

    That's a really good cookbook. Just be careful of the amount of salt that you use. The first time I went straight by the recipe and the bacon was really salty. Play around with the recipe and decide what you like.

    Well I guess we know where we stand with the Duff brothers

    I've seen the USM Truck and Trailer twice this week in Pearl and Richland. It looks good. I don't have a problem with our little brothers having decent looking vehicles to carry their gear to games.
