I went last night and really enjoyed the broccoli-cheese soup. But didn`t
wolf down as much fish as I had thought I would. Even ignoring the French
fries that came with. Still I was filled and happy.

Or find out if your Legion/VFW post buys from GFS (their main schtick is

That sort of sucks rocks. My grandparent`s town, Carlinville, IL is home
to Blackburn College which has a program of planting walnut trees evet
year along county roads - with the permission and knowledge of the land
owners/farmers. Students gather the fallen black walnuts in season and
receive tuition credit for their labour. And there is some arrangement
with a tree service company and sawmill to "thin" the stands of trees
from time to time.
