   further on yesterday’s comments about propane grills.
   the most spectacular small fire i ever saw, was from a propane grill that sprang a leak and then caught fire. the jet of flame reached half way across the back yard of the house it was in, and it seemed like it took the better part of a half hour to burn out. (all the firemen could do was watch it burn, since there was no way to shut off the fuel. good thing it didn’t blow up.)

   I’ll pass. Remember the kind of steak Adam bought. I’m more of a rib eye kind of a guy. I’ll also eat filet mignon, but that’s about it.

   Popsicles are made by the Unilever Corporation and Bomb Pops are made by Blue Bell which is owned by Well’s Dairy.

   A red, white, and blue Popsicle is called a “Firecracker.” It does resemble a Bomb Pop.

   When I was in the Army and Vietnam, one of the clerks who worked in the office that I did and stayed in the same quarters, too, called all carbonated soft drinks “Cokes.” Of course, he also called himself a “Georgia cracker.”

   What do you mean no vegetable. I thought Corn was a vegetable.

   In the south, all sodas are “Coke”. You have to ask “What kind of Coke do you want?” And the correct answer, at least in Texas, would be, Dr. Pepper.

   I count corn as a vegetable, too. But lots of people consider it a starch. Who knew.

    Corn is like a potato. Both are starchy vegetables but people don’t think of them as a veggie.

    While Texas is historically a “Southern State” due to the fact that it was a member of the CSA, it is not really a Southern one.

    Almost all of the Texans I have met in my life are actually more like Southwesterners.

    People attempt to classify Oklahoma as a Southern State; but there was no such thing as the State of Oklahoma until 1907. Until then, it was Indian Territory. Oklahoma was the 1st of the last 3 Southwestern US Territories to become a state in the 20th Century.

    Here in NE Oklahoma, “soda pop” or just “pop” is the generic word for carbonated soft drinks.

    Corn is officially a vegetable with high sugar content.

    Tomatoes are called “vegetables;” but, they are really the fruit of tomato plants since they come from a tomato blossom.

    But, I do NOT like sugar on my tomatoes and I don’t like it added to vegetables either.

    Yo’all should be saying “What, no GREEN vegetables?” Like a small salad at least.

    Where I was brought up, watermelon WAS desert. (That’s Missouri, the 13th Confederate state.)

    Greens? Who needs greens? We don’t need any stinking greens!

    Well maybe a light salad.

    Here in South Carolina sodas were called Co-colas.

    Now that you mentoon it, corn was actually the primary crop for the indigenous people of the Americas until the Europeans came there. So even though I mostly consider it a vegetable, yes, it’s a starch too.

    And by the way, melon is a fruit, and fruits are just as good as vegetables.
