The funny thing is...Jeremy's not *from* TX. He's lived in Houston for quite
awhile now (I met him at a houston.eats get-together back in 2000), but he's
originally from the UK. You'd never think he was from TX if you heard his
British accent.

Andy asked what Jeremy's "causes" are, and I posted the URL to Jeremy's
team's website (where the causes are stated and explained quite clearly). I
have no clue where Andy came up with KKK...
