Over the years, I have seen my home state befouled by the tourist and
real estate industry and overrun by people who simply do not belong
here. By comparison to the plague of yankees who have descended on us
drilling is purely benign yet tourism is considered clean industry.
MY beaches are now covered by northern condo filth to the extent that
I cannot even see the beach along highway 98 in Panama City and
Destin. Along MY barrier islands I have been threatened by idjit
snowbirds who think they actually own the beach in front of their
trashy stilt homes ruining MY dunes.
The salt marshes that produce most of food in the coastal food chain
that have been filled for building apartments will NEVER come back.
By comparison, Prince William Sound is almost the same as it was
before Exxon Valdez. Yet, we are not even talking about oil spills
here, THIS IS GAS DRILLING, NOT OIL. Any conceivable accident from
gas drilling is insignificant to that done each week by the tourist
industry.
Fishing boats from NW FL go to the waters of Alabama and LA because
they have better fishing BECAUSE of the oil industry. The drilling
rigs provide habitat for fish.
Local politicians here in N. FL pandering to the fears of foolish
liberals tell us that tourism provides jobs but all they provide is
minimum wage seasonable jobs. The gas industry provides very high
wage permanent jobs. Given a choice between being a cashier at a
Panama City Hot Dog Stand for $6.00/hr or a welder offshore, which
would you choose?


Careful, you'll become the eighteenth dwarf.

But, you'll be welcome.

married a yankee who likes what I like ('cept she doesnt like
greens). My yank in-laws would be ok if they'd just learn to cook.

For the past couple years, I been setting gullible people like HK
straight, "Dukes of Hazzard" was NOT a documentary. Stop believing
everything Hollywood says. Lots of us rednecks are a lot smarter than
u might thank.

Just tell them to add salt back to the vegetables and then overcook them
till you can't tell what they are.


Nope, bacon. Lot's of bacon. And onions, and garlic, and some Frank's Red
Hot sauce, or whatever they call it these days.

Southerns have never found a dish that was not improved with the
addition of some form of pork.

If you like Frank's Red Hot, you would LOVE Crystal Hot Sauce. Better
flavor than Frank's and the same mild heat.


There is only one hot sauce.

Tobasco.

This thread is now locked. :)


Guess again. !!!!!!

Tabasco is great, either in cooking or as a condiment, but sometimes it
can over power a delicate flavor, such as fish. At those times (and
only at those times) is Crystal the preferred hot sauce.
