Sir wizard,
Come on up here. We'll go into Wayne National Forest and see who comes out.. It would bring back old times of hunting for Charlie where ya can barely see at 2:00 A.M. in the cover of dark and mists when they are on the move.
We may not have those genteel southern tastes, but I have never declined to eat any of the wonderful dishes and foods prepared when I have visited the Southland. The cuisine is excellent! Heck, some of my closest buddies in Nam were southern boys. It did not matter a lick where ya wuz from when you were in the middle of a fight. Ya had each others backs and looked out for your unit.
As for t he GRITS. I gladly donate mine to you so you never run out.. Its a small gift but I am honored to provide it....and be rid of it....
