I was watching the Tour de France today and realized wow, we've been there. My family and roommates ended up stopping here during a train ride and saw the sights and sounds of the city.
On a more somber note, I feel horrible for London. Makes me sort of think maybe we should focus our efforts on Osama bin Laden who even Sadam Hussein believed was so secular that he was placed on Sadam's hit list. Unfortunately, I believe that this fight is quite difficult as terror is more of a concept than a person who can just be conquered. The fight is daunting because from all over the world where pockets of fanatics continue to oppose the United States ideas. Enough of that... Support our troups.
Alright on a more uplifting note. Shellie and I went to Jimmy Jacks a new local barbeque joint. I had heard great things and was not dissapointed. I tried both the brisquet and part of the pulled pork both of which tasted like they had been smoked for about 12 hrs each. With sides of beans, coleslaw, and cornbread (all of which put a smile on my face) and a drink for each meal the total was about $16.00 leaving both of us stuffed for a great price. I'm recommending this place to everyone as I think it beat the pants off of Famous Dave's.
