"You sleep safe in your beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do you harm."
George Orwell
"Those who cling to the untrue doctrine that violence never settles anything would be advised to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms. " Robert A. Heinlein

I remember screaming when I first saw a twin egg – I was a teenager, and my mom and aunts laughed because they thought we got a good deal, but i was freaked out.
I wanted to ask you about grits. I love it. I heard so much about it and read so much about it in literature, but the only time I ever had it, called grits, was in Dallas when I was on an IBM course for a week. I had it every morning, Myron.
My question is, what brand names do they go by, if any, and if they are called something else some times – maybe up north or something. I recently bought this thing called Uncle Tobys (no apostrophe) Fleming’s Fine Ground Creamoata Oats, (Finely ground oats for the creamiest porridge), and made it according to instructions and it was dreamy. If my memory serves, this was what my grits experience was like in Dallas in 1988. I don’t know if Uncle Tobys is an Australian or NZ brand but at least on this package, it doesn’t have a US address.
Can y ou shed some lights? I’ve been trying to taste authentic grits for 20 years now.

You know that old show Alice, about a waitress in a diner or a small restaurant? The other, blond, waitress used to say, “Eat my grits,” and that was the only place I heard that expression. Is that a Southern thing, or was that unique in that show?
I liked that actress – I liked her a lot when she used to play Jill’s mom in Tool Time.
