Doing away with BBQ is the work of the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
Scripture warns us of this.

These are the people who think they are saving the planet by shopping at Whole Foods, who has admitted they overcharged for some of their products.

[BillB]

I don't know anything about Whole Foods.

Do they sell the whole hog, snout, ears and all?

The old Courthouse Market in Forth Worth did.

"Banned" is not true. They want to put egregious restrictions on smoke output and cooking hours. This is what happens when too many danged Californians invade a perfectly good city. I tried to find statistics on how many native Austinites then how many native Texans are on the city council. Couldn't find sufficient info. Apologies, Greg, but at least you have the good sense to stay in California.

Meanwhile another house for sale a block from my Mom's 1,000 sq. ft. 77 year old house. This one is 4,500 sq. ft. and 1.3 million bucks. Estimated payments - $6,000/month. Oh and it overlooks a glorified (at least in terminology - they are calling a private creek) drainage ditch that's dry 90% of the time. Ridiculous!
