[nfbmi-talk] To Barbecue or not to Barbecue??

[Larry D. Keeler]

I sure wouldn't miss that barbecue!  Especially down in Taxas!  While going 
through a bufet, I usually get my plate and can fill it.  The only help I 
sometimes need is to identify what's in the pans!  But, I can get out 
whatever it is with the tongs that are usually provided.  If there is no 
sighted help, just be adventurous and go through and grab!  You can use a 
cane and go through but you can't go through with canes and sighted guide! 
I just went to one with Holly tonight!
