We had to wait about 45 minutes to get seated Saturday night, but the Beef Brisket and Spareribs were delicious - also the baked beans and cole slaw, and fresh half-loaves of bread. Great attentive service too. We had lots of ribs left over for Sunday afternoon. I recommend Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler Texas BBQ
I've heard that on weekends you drive up to Santa Maria and in the parking lots of the town, people set up and sell this: Santa Maria Style BBQ
I've had it in restaurants in LA and it's pretty good there - what it's like up there, I've just heard stories....

I'm not listening to the same radio stations you are...
If it's not a weekday, I tend to listen to oldies music.
If it's a weekday morning, I listen to Jamie and Danny because
they're addictive and sometimes they're unbelieveable, as in Danny wondering aloud how come his wife didn't
"squirm or complain" when he first attempted "the back door" - they were MUCH MORE explicit about this
than I am, because I'm chicken...

I have accepted your invitation to the blog, Punjab. As you might have said in a former day, some days you eat the cheesesteak, now days you dream of it while stuck in traffic as the cheesesteak eats your arteries. I am happy to hear that your son, Gunga Din Mulcahy returned safely from his journey to the mysterious Islands. I'm becomming convinced that the local radio stations' employees are taking days off while replaying old middle eastern news from 30 years ago. It's difficult to hear any difference and the names are the same.

Big manufacturing company is outsourcing some programming jobs to overseas coding shops, reports a programmer pilot fish at the manufacturer.
But the company is taking it slowly. "We've been giving them sample projects to work on and increasing the complexity of the tasks involved, to gauge what they could handle and what was beyond their expertise," fish says.
The latest effort: Converting code from several old Digital Equipment VAX programs to run on IBM machines.
"Their programmers had been working on this project for six months," says fish. "In the weekly status meetings, we regularly asked, 'What problems are you having with the Digital to IBM sales report conversions?' or 'How's the VAX-to-IBM conversion going on those Phase 2 financial programs?'"
No problems, no problems, never any problems to report.
Until the day, six months into the project, when one outsourcer programmer finally does have an issue to raise.
"Can you tell me again," outsourcer says politely, "What is a VAX?"

I think they now have a way to pay for all this new technology.
They can *charge* people to look at the xray scans as people walk through.
-- also they can put up web sites, featuring the 100 best xrays at LAX...

Interesting - I finally realized that yeah, it's probably not a great thing that AT&T set up new ftp servers which won't allow uploading
from Blogger- but hey, at least Ev and co. will let me set up here on BlogSpot... this is really excellent!
memo to self: kick some $$ in as soon as possible...

this came up in my "fortune cookie" ... what timing!
"Verily and forsooth," replied Goodgulf darkly. "In the past year
strange and fearful wonders I have seen. Fields sown with barley reap
crabgrass and fungus, and even small gardens reject their artichoke hearts.
There has been a hot day in December and a blue moon. Calendars are made with
a month of Sundays and a blue-ribbon Holstein bore alive two insurance
salesmen. The earth splits and the entrails of a goat were found tied in
square knots. The face of the sun blackens and the skies have rained down
soggy potato chips."
"But what do all these things mean?" gasped Frito.
"Beats me," said Goodgulf with a shrug, "but I thought it made good
copy."
