Differences

[Xringshooter]

Growing up in PA they always used cinders (a lot of coal was burned back then) which worked good, didn't rot out your car or kill the vegetation. Then someone sold the salt idea to the state (probably made a pile of money). Then the new stuff they put down on the dry roads so that when is snows it melts the snow and ice and covers your car with a white film which won't come off easily (have to go to a car wash to get if off, someone else making a gob of money because of "forward thinking politicians".)

I get to Tulsa occasionaly on business, would love to get there for the gun show. As it goes, I get to some of the gun shops and milsurp stores to if there is anything I "must" have.

I just want to add that I am a proud Yankee, not a Damn Yankee. I plan on returning to PA when I retire from the Army and leave the south.

How is that list off?

I have lived in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina. I have stayed in Alabama and Mississippi for a time being as well.

Go anywhere else in the country and try to get a good ...pretzels (not those scrawny ...

While on night shift we used to sneak down to the Mayfair section in Philly (Keystone St? near Torresdale Ave) where a pretzel factory cranked out soft pretzels by the thousands. I think they were $2 per dozen, and still hot & soft out of the ovens. They would almost melt in your mouth as you eat them.

I can't describe the smell, only that I'm very fortunate they were so far away or I'd have eaten myself to death on pretzels, or OD'd on the salt.

<Mr Creosote>: Look - I couldn't eat another thing. I'm absolutely stuffed. Bugger off.
<Maitre D>: Oh sir, just... just *one*...
<Mr Creosote>: Oh all right. Just one.
<Maitre D>: Just the one, sir... voila... bon appetit...
