Oh, that's right. Sean gave it up due to health issues. We're a pretty
well behaved bunch and don't require as much supervision as some of the
more contentious echoes.   Bv)=

I once got into a Greek place when I was in Quebec with my Hoosier Tire
crew doing an CATcar race at Sanair Super Speedway. The restaurant was
next door to our hotel. The crew guys wanted pizza - which looked odd
when brought to the table - lumps of cheese (crumbled feta) and BIG
slices of tomato. The sausage was from links sliced in coins. I tried a
small slice and it had a very nice flavour. But I went back to my order
of moussaka.

I've done this a couple times. But the Macedonians, Janos and Ozzie at
the local truckstop cafe do it better.   Bv)=
