John, I am SO impressed by the statistics on Kansas/Oklahoma border rigs. I had no idea.

Bill D, that was an astute surmise, but the 'ar' doesn't stand for Arthur Bryant. It stands for American Royal, the big livestock show.

Re those goats in Tennessee: a relative in South Carolina telle me that there are people who 'rent out' goats to eat kudzu. Apparently nothing else will eat kudzu. I see a great future in converting kudzu to BBQ.

I wonder if they're going public? This could be the next Microsoft.
