I love the outdoors. But nope, going to Aiken SC instead. Proof of idiocy, most people go south in the winter! I'll be there Sat till Wednesday.

Looking forward to Carolina bbq, deep fried everything and yeah a nip or three of good shine I love southern hospitality but to a Yankee everything feels soooooooo sssssllllllloooooowww sometimes!

I've spent a fair amount of time there and across the river in Augusta (while working at DOE's Savannah River Site).

If you want to kick out the jams with maximum amounts on Caroline-style BBQ, head over to Shealy's in Leesville, about 30 minutes from Aiken. It'll bust your belly for little money.

Casa Belle, a small Italian joint in a old Victorian home right on the town square, is a nice little place too.

Keep an eye out for unreformed secesh. They may mistake you for a carpetbagger.

It's not fine dining, just unlimited amounts of southern cooking. If they're from the area, they may know of it already. IIRC, they have autographed pictures of a number of celebrities who have been there on the wall, including Rep. Joe (Liar) Wilson.

Perfect. My bro-in-law (my drinking buddy before they went south) is an old school Democrat

I need to watch this, it helps me keep persective. I've posted it before.

Let us all get along in stereoish brotherly, um, like for a moment. Which intentionally excludes the HT people. Man how I hate them.

Cheers.

Very neat. I've been down on 'stories' lately. I needed someone to tell me that stories can be good or bad.
