If you are a regular reader of my blog then you know that things are just a bit different in East Texas. Here is another example of that -



That's right! You don't need no teeth to eat my beef!  With the lackluster dental hygiene skills of a good portion of the local population, this is a HUGE selling point for this guy.  I got a BBQ sandwich while I was there. It was awesome even with my teeth.

So the other day I was in the grocery store and I spot a bottle of U-bet syrup and I instantly thought of the "world famous"  Brooklyn Egg Cream  - a drink comprised of chocolate syrup, milk and seltzer water.

I got word that the job at Parker was offered to someone else so I am still plugging away at it and sending out resumes.  In the meantime I have been helping my father-in-law clear some land that he bought.
