Hi Dave,

 RH> It is cooling down, despite what the global warming folks say. Remember
 RH> only 30+/- years ago when everybody was obsessing over the global
 RH> cooling? Can't win for notning.

 DD> The core msay be cooling. But the atmosphere and surface are warming -
 DD> caused by polllutants in the atmosphere. Global average surface
 DD> temperature has risen at an average rate of 0.17°F per decade since
 DD> 1901

Whichever way it's going, we shouldn't need to obsess about it. I figure
I'll be out of here one way or another before the planet blows into
smithereens.


 DD>       8<----- SNICK ----->8

 RH> steaks and sides, food overall is very good. It can get loud at times
 RH> as it's a good sized place and only low barriers separating one area
 RH> from another.

 DD> It was several years before a TRH actually opened in Texas.  Bv)=

 DD> The only steak place I have eaten in Texas is the "Big Texan" just off
 DD> of Route 66 (now I-40) where the offer a "free 72 oz steak" (4 1/2 lb
 DD> roast cooked on the grilll). To get it free you must finish it in one
 DD> sitting along with the baked potato and side salad. I managed it. But

I've seen the signs for that approaching, then in, Amarillo. The place
is just off of I-40, and no, we've never stopped there. Only times we've
stopped in the city have been for fuel and visits to a (now deceased)
aunt of Steve's. There's no way I could finish 4.5 pounds of meat, a
potato and salad (especially if the salad is brought out first) in one
sitting.


 DD> an hour
 DD> or so further west I was getting hungry again. Seems all that food got
 DD> my stomach stretched out of shapen and when it passed on down the line
 DD> it left an rmpty feeling.  Bv)=

I'll stop at comfortably full, like I could eat dessert but if I did,
I'd be overfull. Taking home a lot of leftover boxes these days.

 RH> a "pick your own steak" cabinet up front but we usually just order off
 RH> the menu. They used to have buckets of peanuts on the table, shells
 RH> could be tossed on the floor. Discontinued that with covid, brought in
 RH> bagged peanuts (shells go into buckets) only a couple of years ago.

 DD> We used to have a chain place called "The Ground Round" a family
 DD> casual place that offered the p-nut shells on the floor deal. The

I've heard of them but don't recall ever eating at one. Sounds like they
were trying to be a TR clone.

 DD> chain, a part of the Howard Johnson's family went bust in 2004. Our
 DD> local store is now "The Dublin Pub" with not an Irishman in sight.

Does it offer Irish beer?
