Zat you? Yeah, you win. Without even looking at the other posts yet, I gotta say…lol And why is the telephone # so long? I have one I thought was pretty good. The Roadkill Cafe. (Classy that they didn’t go for the easy “K.”) Saw it on the way to an Outlet store. We’re going to stop next trip. Now I’ll go back and read the others. ---
