When god came down and personally created barbecue, you can bet your backside it involved Eastern vinegar based sauce. ---

It’s supposed to open in a few weeks, I believe. I am going to assume, at least initially, the traffic is going to be bad. Will probably have to find an alternate route when driving to/from work. ---

I stopped at my first-ever Buc-ee’s today: a brand-new one on I-70 in Dayton, Ohio. Got a tank of gas, and bought some tchotchkes for my wife, and an insulated tumbler for myself. ---
