Thanks! I'm descended from Isaak Cummings that landed in (eastern) Massachusetts back around 1632 or something. Some of his offspring were "witnesses" (prosecutors) in the Salem witch trials. Not that that's anything to go around telling folk.

Been to Sydneyj in the 90's. 32 hours travel time as whoever booked our company travel opted for the fewest stopovers and somehow missed that we went NORTH from Florida to Japan to get to Australia. The people that mistakenly end up in Austria got a better deal!

Nope. Chili stew can have some beans. And, no, there is no thing such as vegetarian chili either.

Worked for a company out of Alpharetta. One of the most diverse restaurant scenes in any city I've ever been. Also one of the best full-on Japanese owned sushi places EVER!

Nice. Two generations off of a west Kansas farm/ranch operation there since the 1830'sj. Place had a deep artesian well and provided water to the local area during the dustbowl.

Love Nebraska beef, not so sure about the weather. Passed through on my Florigonian trail trip to pick up a '67 Cougar from my brother in the 90's/
