even more good food at this year's hotluck...how can it get any 
better?...more chile-heads in attendance is the only way;..

got there late, left early, both as a result of an issue with the 
car...just pulled in safely, no smoke out of the engine, but ran into 
some *serious* fog coming off the jellico mountain...talking ten foot 
visibility most of the way, sometimes, barely able to see the white 
stripe on the side of the road...

missed chilewoman, ted, alex, their families and several other 
regulars...but had a fine crowd...the traditional rain on friday and sun 
on saturday...more people seem to show up when there are no tornadoes 
forecast...go figger...

thanks again to the thomas family and the campbell family, who host this 
show...this was the 12th year.  it is now officially a tradition...

and to all of those who expressed concern for me and my car, i made it 
safely, don't think i injured the car, and all ended well that ended 
well (or something like that)...


(special thanks to george starkey, who gave my nephew a story that he 
will never forget...nor will he ever forgive me when he finds out the 
truth...he called all his friends on the way home..."you'll never 
*believe* who i met at the hotluck!...yes, it really was!...it was 
*really* him!"...)
