Yeah I live just a stone throw from Huntsville, the death row capital. Oh and I don’t live far from Cut-n-Shoot either.

When my kid brothers come to visit during the summers I always go through the same spiel with them: DON’T point the water hose at someone and then turn it on. You have to let it run a few seconds before you touch the water or you will get 2nd degree burns. DON’T mess with those neat looking sand/dirt piles in the yard. They’re call fire ants and they want you for supper.

Sigh. I HATE the summers here.

Oh and BBQ is a very specific noun NOT a verb. Just cuz you’re cooking outside doesn’t mean your BBQing
