Thanx Dave, for the heads up, but I've been known to test the
UL-approved limits. Lord knows why, I try to play nice. Guess cuz I
am a smartass. ;-)

Fort Wood, huh, I've got a question for ya. How long have you
bivouacked there? Reason I axe is because on our many junkets hither
and yon thru central MO, we've found respite in Rolla at this lovely
dive called Papa Meaux's (perhaps THE best Creole/Cajun vittles slung
outside of N'awlins). I wondered if you've heard of it and wondered
whatever became of Papa Meaux. We drove through about two years ago
and the place was no longer there, after being a fixture for years.
Just down Kings Highway from the Sirloin Stockade or some such place.
I'd be forever in your debt or....I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a
Po'Boy today....
