The food caterer at Maxton last month had a super nice grille -- EIGHT
burners, TWO 20# propane bottles -- $300 on sale at Sam's Club. Then
he had the temerity to tell us that he got it on a closeout --
otherwise I would've got one to use and store. Maybe I should have
some local yokel up here make one, I'll transport it, and we'll store
it. I'm a-working on it.
