======================
-> -> I suspect it'll be the latter; there are several other "Pennysaver"
-> -> types in the county already.
-> 
->  RH> We have one or two here too.  THey're pretty useless.
-> 
-> I've seen a couple out here, don't recall any in HI but I'm sure they
-> were there as well.  About the only thing they're good for is filling up
-> the recyle bag.
-> 
One of the ones I find often has coupons for the Salvation Army.  That one
isn't quite useless.:)  Gotta love treasure hunting. 

->  RH> Wishful thinking.  A woman with a head of steam and an M-16 is
pretty
->  RH> intimidating to some guys.
-> 
-> You never saw the one picture Deborah sent us from Iraq--she's toting a
-> big old Squad Automatic Weapon.  She volunteered for it! Good way to
-> keep off folks she didn't want around. (G)

As Ivanova said, you can get farther with a kind word and a gun than with
just a kind word....
 
->  RH> These didn't try to prove it; they just ran the joint.
-> 
-> Yes, and ran it well.  The first sergeant is the company commander's
-> main "go to" person for just about anything going on in the company.

...probably far more so than any officer, if I remember correctly.
 
->  RH> If it's anything like around here, it's the franchises that have
gone
->  RH> under.
-> 
-> Town is home to one of the State University Colleges at schools so it
-> can support few pizza places.  But, the ones that are the best are the
-> ones the kids keep coming back to.

UConn had two grinder places right next to each other.  One was a Subway
and the other one was local.  Ted's had better grinders, but there was
enough business for both to make out.
 
->  RH> That's OK; I don't think he's old enough to care.  I still have to
->  RH> make my Stollen, Lebkuchen, and at least one butter cookie.
-> 
-> He won't; we got him this year's Hess truck--a flatbed with a helicopter
-> that detatches.  He'll have fun with that.

Ooooh - I wanted one of those!  No Hess stations here, alas.
 
->  RH> I have at least one Georgia charity cookbook somewhere...I think.
->  RH> Paula Dean was never my thing.  The Wei Chuan collection, on the
other
-> 
-> Well, she's local Savannah and good old southern cooking.  Caught a bit
-> of her show earlier today where she made twice baked potatoes and had
-> shrimp in the filling.

I guess I'm just a Yankee at heart.  
 
-> ->  RH> as someone else is paying for the jet fuel!
-> 
-> -> Yes, and the coaches are always fussing about it.
-> 
->  RH> It knocks a big hole in their budgets for Gatorade showers
-> 
-> Surprisingly, June Jones did well with the UH football team this year,
-> something like 10-2.  I think a lot of folks out there were ready to
-> send him packing; this is his best season since he took over in 2000.  I
-> don't think he's the next best thing to sliced bread tho.
-> 
Fried poi, maybe?
