Hi Dave,
RH> I've heard of, but not read the books nor seen the movies. IIRC they're
RH> a spy genre? Clancy passed away in 2013; his books are being written by
RH> othes now under "...........A Tom Clancy book". Now most of them
DD> That 'splains Clanky becomig formulaic. It's a franchise now. Bv)=
Yes, so I'm re-reading one of his books from the 1990s now.
DD> of writer. I'm currently reading "Not This Way" by Blake Pierce -
DD> it's a sort-of cops 'n bad guys yarn starring a Native American Texas
DD> Ranger. I'm quite enjoying the way it moves right along, never
DD> dawdling over the little stuff.
Not really my cuppa tea.
DD> 8<----- XXXXX ----->8
DD> I'm not either. Popeyes offers all manner of goopy sauces for/on its
DD> chicken wings. Since I generally order on their app I was beginning to
DD> think I was going to have to pull a gun on someone to get "original"
DD> spicy wings with no pre-applied sauce. But eventually my (and no doubt
DD> other) complaints in "feedback" got listed to/read and now "original
DD> spicy" (or mild) is the first selection.
RH> I'd probably go for the original, mild if I were to get any sort of
RH> sauce but I usually like the chicken without any sort of sauce. The
RH> variety of sauces they're getting is soon going to rival Zaxby's which
RH> is more of a southern chain, tho they do have an outlet in Salt Lake
RH> City. Saw that on a map of their outlets when we were there a couple of
RH> weeks ago.
DD> We just recently got a Raising Cane's on the out lot of a strip mall
DD> in front of our Barnes & Nobel - which is the only "new" book outlet
DD> in my home town. I have yet to try them.
We tried a Raising Cain's out in Hawaii; they were in the PX food court.
Supposed to be getting one in Raleigh in the not too distant future;
they are pretty good.
DD> My nearest Popeyes is about a mile from my house. How does Cook Out do
DD> their sandwich? Baked? Boiled? Broiled?
RH> They're char grilled, with no coating. I've tasted a faint charcoal
RH> flavor on them.
DD> Charcoal? Or smoke? If they're a commercial thing and reasonably busy
DD> I'd be willing to bet that their char-grill is gas or 'lectic for the
DD> heat with the smoke/charcoal flavouring added by some sort of smoke
DD> generator.
Probably so; we've not been there but twice so not done any sort of
deeper investigation.
RH> something a bit bigger now that we have the Grey Wolf and F-150. Not
RH> quite as convenient as just pull up to the entry door, go in, grab your
RH> order and head back out but we're pulling our (temporary) home with us.
RH> (G)
DD> I've only done a cramper trip once. Borrowed my brother's pickup truck
DD> and little trailer and set off for Denver with my GF to visit her aunt
DD> and uncle. Decided that was not my cuppa tea. If I do something like
DD> that again I'll drive my car and get a motel room. Ot take the Amtrak
DD> and rent a ride at my destination.
We're not that thrilled with flying any more. Besides, we can sleep in
our own bed at night (in some rather interesting locations) and go
places the train can't go to. We can pack a good bit of food in the
fridge and odd spaces in the camper, plus take a wider variety of
clothes. In 2018 when we went out west, we packed a lot of summer weight
stuff but also added winter jackets which we needed when we went to
Yellowstone. No need to schlep suitcases as the campers have closets.
DD> Popeyes is currently offering a 3-piece for U$5. Leg, thigh and
DD> wing is my usual selection. And with a side of coleslaw or mash &
DD> gravy it's a nice evening meal.
RH> If it's convenient to you, go for it. I'd probably eat the wing and
RH> leg, save the thigh for another time, or vice versa, or try to get a
RH> breast as one of my choices. But yes, cole slaw on the side.
DD> They also offer three for U$5 chicken tenders.
I'd go for that
DD> It's a rather strange selection. You can get dark meat - leg and thigh
