Actually he was cremated and it took them that long to put the fire out!

This seems like a long time to lay in state.

You disregard the preservative properties of Popcorns beverages. He was already pickled so it was no problem

Maybe not this visit (we will be in public) but I am sure that the future holds a glass or two!

Popcorn Sutton? Yep, I've heard of him

Any idea on an ETA to my neck of the woods?

I am thinking around 2ish. I will call when I am about an hour out. Are you east or west of 75?

Have either of you taken into account the 5 hour time differential between Kentucky and Hungary?

That would be a slightly bigger detour than I am willing to make!

Yes, but it is east of 75 as I read the map. Getting the leg nudge indicating it is time to walk the dogs. When I get back I have to ask Helen how Sting indicates it is time for his walk.

East, but I can be in Richmond in about 45 minutes from the house. I will probably be out riding anyway. If you call when you hit the first London exit, you are less than an hour from the Richmond exit where the CB is.
