OMG, thanks a lot sweeps, now I can't get the darn theme song out of my head all day.

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you cook beans on a grill? Don't they sort of fall off into the fire??

"Health care isn't expensive. It's "sickness care" that can cost so much. Health care is cheap! Taking a walk is cheap. Riding a bicycle instead of driving is cheap. Keep in mind, though, that you can make "health care" very expensive. Joining a health club isn't cheap, and neither is buying the latest model 18-speed bike. For simple, healthy exercise, just walk out the door!" ~~Joe Dominquez & Vicki Robin
