Been there, don't want to go back.
Why's that? Where's that? What does it mean "down there"?
I could only think of the places that think of the fried articles as
Freedom Fries

As a way off topic response, I live in North Carolina, home of "I bet
I can deep fry that". For proof, our State Fair is going on now, and
there are deep fried Coca Cola soaked breads, pickles, candy
bars, . . . It might have been here that chicken fried steak was
invented: start with a great steak, coat it with bread crumbs, and fry
until well past well done.

The airspace above the Fair should be restricted -- it may be CAVU but
the vapors on your windscreen will make it actual IMC in the cockpit.
Of course, your engine will run rich, ingesting a near explosive
mixture of air and grease vapor. And drag goes down too -- but be
careful exiting your low winged airplane, the traction you expect will
not be the grease does that.

Close by are some of the better heart hospitals in the country.
Coincidence? I think not.

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program.


Not to be outdone, but the Texas State Fair just finished this year and
they, too, have deep fried stuff. This year they introduced deep fried
butter. Last year I think it was deep fried bacon. I still like the old
Fletcher's corny dog.
