Bob, it's the water. It'll kill houseplants it's so salty. It might have
been that shot of salt to your endocrine system that did the trick! I'd
stay away, too. The only think I know about Kilgore is that it is a
college town and has a Fruitcake Factory that makes Texas Fruitcakes...
almost half full of pecans. Good stuff. They make something like a

about 10 gallons of COLD milk to finish one over a weeks time. <cackles>
