The Pig

Way back in 1979, ESPN was born on this day. Yes Virginia, there was a day when you didn't have eleventeen football games on tv every Saturday. There was the Wide World of Sports....and one game on Saturday. ...and that game was usually Notre Dame vs somebody or Army/Navy....it was a dark, dark time.

Yesterday, way back in 1916, the first self-service grocery store opened in Memphis Tennessee. Before that, you asked a clerk to go get your stuff. Now, you can get whatever you want your ownself. Was it a HEB? Kroger? Safeway? Randalls? Nope, it was my favorite chain...Piggly Wiggly. You can get official Pig t-shirts off their web-site. A great gift idea....

The smokehouse picture is from Lost Creek golf course. You overthunk it....
