Sure, I was sitting on the couch in my living room thinking how ridiculous
the entire thing was. But it's not something I really think about.
Reporters do stuff like that to make it into a bigger story than it ever
should have been (except, perhaps, for the havoc it created with traffic on
the freeway).

Sounds like a good meal to me! We saw the exit for Vidalia, Georgia on the
[moving] drive down here just a couple of weeks ago, home of the vidalia
onion Guess what I found when I was packing? A few bottles of Autocrat
Coffee Syrup from Gaspar's, still in the original shipping box. I'd given
some to friends as gifts but I ordered some extra and forgot about them
Now I can have coffee-milk again!
