Did anyone catch this show last night on the History Channel?

I thought it had a lot of good points and I learned a few things. There were a few things that I believe fell into the sterotype of Southerners, and the hosts feed into it.

Charlie Daniels did a fantastic job I thought.

Oh, and I've never eaten a Pig Ear Sandwich from The Big Apple Inn, but I have been offered one.

I'd love to hear comments from those that saw the show.

From what I see here, the South can be characterized as having mannered people and good food.

No?

That was one of the things I didnt understand Drafter. We don't put pork in with all our veggies....corn, squash, potatoes ect.

You are right Pliny....Join us for the Fishn Herf and you will enjoy some of the best food ever!!!! The manners are kinda thrown out the window, but hopefully the Hospitality makes up for it.

8track, be sure and watch the show. I think you will enjoy it. I did notice they found some of the most country of country folks to do spots on the show. Which in my opinion added to the sterotype.

Oh and one of the debates was what is considered Dixie. It may just be me, but I would lump Kentucky in that mix. They were right when they said FL was not really the same as the other states....To me they are a different kind of Southern. And don't get me started on LA.....they are a breed of their own.

I liked the analogy about the climate in MS. I think it was dip a wool blanket in water and wrap around your head. then go sit in a sauna and try to breath.

Alright, I don't want to ruin the show for everyone.

Goin back to Cleveland Clinic October 11-12. Long story short, no surgery yet. Was all prepared, went to Cleveland to see probably the best at this surgery, they did all the measuring and things and told me the KU doctors were off. It measures 4.6 CM rather than 5.3. They will do surgery at 5 and must/should at 5.5. weird.

We'll see what October brings.

hows yours?

Mine is great. The wife enjoys the "ticking" sound my heart makes. I have no complaints other that this freakin pacemaker. I swear it wont let my heart go as hard as it did right after my valve replacement. It may all be in my head though. I'll let you know in a few months, I've started my exercise program again. Lets hope it sticks this time.

Keep me posted on whats going on. And I'm more than happy to coach your wife through what to expect.

The Kansas doctors probably screwed up the metric conversion. It is Kansas.

No, no, no. Metric is what is used by the scientific community. They don't believe in science in Kansas.
