I also find that I like drinks to be more watery in the hot weather.  I tend to
drink a lot of water in un-air-conditioned places, but very little in air-
conditioning.

I guess that's part of what makes life interesting--new experiences and old
friends as you move around.

I never shopped at the old Cove HEB or TG&Y; just knew the HEB was there.  I
think I went to a nearby garden store.

I suspect you're not talking here about the GNC's on Fort Hood.  I don't think
they sell food, and I think they've been there for less than ten years.  I
don't have commissary privileges now, so I haven't shopped there for 30 years.
