   Hi Dave,   
      
   You disappeared off the board for a few days, got me wondering if all   
   was OK. Good to see you back.   
      
    RH> Or stock up on Mexican Coke or KFP Coke. (G)   
      
    DD> That's the sweet part (pun intended) I won't have to play Joe Friday   
    DD> and track down the Mexican or Jewish stuff.   
      
    RH> Easier to find in some places or times of year than others. When we   
    RH> were in AZ, we weren't too far from the border. I went over once, with   
    RH> some friends (had been over the border in TX in the 80s) for some   
    RH> shopping (not for Coke). Downside of living that close was the problem   
    RH> with illeagals; had some friends in law enforcement that had been shot   
    RH> at.   
      
    DD> That's why the nabs carry guns - so they can shoot back.   
      
   Got that one right! Seemed like every other day there was an article in   
   the newspaper or story on tv news of what illeagals had done.   
      
      
    DD> I did discover a Dr. Pepper product Iquite like,mthough. Sugar free   
    DD> Pwppwe mixed with Cream Soda. Apparently other like it as well   
    RH>      ****** ?????   
      
    DD> Fat fingers. should have been Pepper   
      
   OK, I know there's a new brand out called Poppie so wasn't sure if you   
   were referring to that or not.   
      
      
    DD> becaouse it's hard to find it not store shelves.  Bv)=   
      
    RH> May be more available in some stores/areas than others.   
      
    DD> I don't understand how soda route drivers think. Their pay is based   
    DD> partly on how much "profuct" they move. If I was delivering a product   
    DD> that sold out every week I'd leave more and smile all the way to the   
    DD> bank. I was   
    DD> working in a gas station/c-store when Pepsi One was introduced. We   
    DD> sold out to bare shelves within two days after a delivery. And we   
    DD> could NOT get the bozo driver to leave more.   
      
   They're not all like that. Steve's last civilian job before he went in   
   the Army was filling soda machines at Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry   
   Point. He had an established route, don't know how often he had to fill   
   specific machines. Came home with some interesting coins from Marines   
   who tried scamming the machines--he would replace them with quarters of   
   his own and the odd ones got added to an informal coin collection.   
      
    DD>      8<----- SNYP ----->8   
      
    DD> Saw Dr. Nutt (nephrologist) yeaterday and was informed my kidneys are   
    DD> doing well, told to keep on with the Lasix and "see me in six mon   
    DD> ths". I like that he's assuming I'll be available in six months.  Bv)=   
      
    RH> You're planning to stick around, I presume. (G)   
      
    DD> Well, yeah. I'm reaqdy if it happens. Dennis gets the house as long as   
    DD> he wants until he go into "other" (assisted living/sheltered care/etc)   
    DD> quarters at which time it goes to Habitat For Humanity to do with as   
    DD> they will. It's only fair. Other than my bed all the furniture, lamps,   
    DD> etc came from there.   
      
   Sounds like a good idea to me. We'll probably have our girls sell this   
   house and donate stuff to ReStore. My brother left his house to us 4   
   siblings; Steve and I had just bought our house and didn't want to deal   
   with 1/4 house in Florida so sold back our share ASAP.   
      
    DD> Any money left in my accounts goes (split equally) between St.   
    Jude's DD> in Memphis and the Shriner's Cripplped Childrens' Hospitals.   
      
   Both good causes.   
      
    RH> No, and there have been times, even with it, that have been close   
    RH> calls. Worst time without the camper (but just made it safely) was one   
      
    DD> And people wonder why I wear black slacks/workm pants.  Bv)= No   
    DD> spreading stain to give me away.   
      
   (G)   
      
      
    DD> What do you use as a "traffic" radio? Is it part of your GPS or a   
    DD> Sirius/XM channel? Or the good ol' CB radio (if such exists any   
      
    RH> Sirius/XM; had it in the first Escape we bought and have continued with   
    RH> it. Steve likes to listen to talk radio (usually Patriot channel 125)   
    RH> when driving, will switch to Bluegrass Junction, No Shoes Radio or   
    RH> Willie's Roadhouse also. Listening to Andrew Wilkow on Patriot Radio   
    RH> intoduced us to Aaron Lewis; at the ham raido get together a couple of   
    RH> weeks ago, grand prize in the raffle was an autographed special made   
    RH> for him guitar. No, I didn't win it.   
      
    DD> If I'm not listening to Real Jazz or 40s Junction I can be found   
    DD> getting on on what "the Shadow Knows" on old time radio channel. They   
    DD> did Orson Welles' 1939 "War Of The Worlds" on 31 October.   
      
   We've listened to old time radio sometimes but it's harder to follow the   
   story with road noise. Music or talk radio works better.   
      
    RH> Tried a new to us place after church today, Taza Grill. They RH>   
    advertise RH> themselves as "The Best Mediterranian Food in the RH>   
    Area!". RH>  We DD>  both had RH> the lamb platter, came with lots of   
      
    DD> Mediterranean gives a wiiiiiiiiide range of cuisines - both European   
    DD> and Africn from whiuch to choose. Besides my favourites (Greek and   
    DD> Italian) there is Spanish, French, Turkish, Israeli, Egyptian,   
    DD> Morrocaan, etc. from which to choose.   
      
    RH> We've liked most all that we've tried; it's the Middle Eastern/Greece   
    RH> area I refer to as Mediterranian. Spanish, Italian, French, etc I   
    RH> classify as European.   
      
    DD> I wish we has a decent Greek restaurant here. I get some Greek dishes   
    DD> from   
      
    DD> My favourite Greek soup:
