Welcome to the forum. Now that you have seen how nutty we are, you might be able to tolerate my insanity.
Actually I only just now noticed this thread. But it sounds a lot better to act like I was holding back until I saw how you were holding up with the lunacy here.
I've made quite a few trips to Missouri (just barely over the border) with my pastor to buy a load of watermelons. He hauls them back down to southwest Tennessee and catches the vacationers on their way to the river. He sells them to raise money for Sheaves for Christ offering.
