Sounds like Eddie caught, what we call in SC, "a case of stupid."

Side note: I am not allowed to let my mind wander... it's too little to be out on its own.

Isn't it nice when a mind wanders that it finds its way?

I remember Ms Cleo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZwLG7yJg1g She was classier than the A.M. radio and TV evangelists hawking Prayer Cloths and such. Give a watch. Recoil in horror. https://dustoffthebible.com/Blog-archive/2012/07/25/the-worst-tbn-product-scams-of-all-time/

Naw, that is Houston. Given the number of deputies we have, it is a large, but not completely unbelievable number. Unfortunate as it is.

Ian,

This sounds so much like the community where I was a Deputy Marshall. We'll have to trade a few stories if we meet.

I know about pecan pie but I have never heard of pecan cobbler. Is there a recipe somewhere because just the words pecan cobbler sound well, too good for words.
