I wish we were getting rain.  It's supposed to be two 
feet of snow.

I'm told they've improved somewhat, but never had the old 
ones for comparison.  OTOH when you hear the best part 
used to be the Tabasco bottles, that's not a ringing 
endorsement of the taste.

My dad was an only, and my Mom has one sister.  I have 
tons of distant cousins but only four firsts.

Just as good - they kept the local plant up and running 
and even moved other parts of their manufacturing into 
the building.

I tend not to use sprays, or frankly clean much with 
anything but water.

True.  The broiler part has always been a lost cause.
The toaster part generally worked but if you have a 
toaster it's not really useful.
