When you originally mentioned this displacement, I checked my location

I've checked periodically throughout my Internet
experience, and sometimes all of my cookies or

The other day I walked 2 miles on the almost flats, and
it was enough.

I'd be pushing it if I walked 1/4 mile without finding a bench or
something.

My knees are supposedly in reasonable shape.

The flavors look largely okay, the prep and

I live in Southern Indiana and use DSL from AT&T.

Websites usually don't show my location correctly, most of them 'think'
I am in the Indianapolis Area in the middle of the State of Indiana.

That's O.K. with me if AT&T has me in "STEALTH" Mode.

Usually when I visit the website for a local Store:

(Meijer, Target, Wal*Mart, Kroger etc., etc., etc.)

to see if they stock the item I'm wanting to buy, or the cost for it.

The first page that shows up will be for their Store in a City around the Indianapolis Area and I have to go to the Option to Switch To their Store located in MY Area.

I suppose AT&T sends my DSL service up to their equipment in Indianapolis before it goes out on the WWWeb.

Ground control to Major Ed - when you go on the internet you've given
up all hope of privacy. Your every action is tracked six ways from the

It's optional if you want to give it up or not. Which meets your "it's

Title: Beaumont Inn Kentucky Hot Brown
Categories: Sandwiches, Poultry, Pork, Cheese, Sauces
Yield: 1 Servings

3 oz Turkey breast; roasted,
- sliced
1 sl Toasted bread
2 sl Tomato
2 sl Bacon; cooked, drained

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
2 oz Butter
3 oz Flour
3/4 c Cream
1/4 c Milk
1/2 c Emmenthaler cheese; grated
Salt & white pepper

Recipe by: Beaumont Inn

Heat butter and add flour. Whisk and slowly cook for 5
minutes. Whisk in cream and milk and heat. Whisk in cheese
until melted. Season. Simmer for 30 minutes. Sauce should
be very thick.

Quarter toast and place in an oven safe dish. Top with
turkey and tomatoes. Cover well with sauce. Bake at 400
degrees for 10 minutes. Garnish with bacon.

Note: This is a regional favorite that originated at
Louisville's Brown Hotel earlier in this century. Many
variations can be found, most commonly country ham is
added and a cheddar sauce is substituted. This is our
version which I feel is closer to the original recipe.
It is offered on our lunch menu.

Not just Floyd Knobs, the Southern portion of Indiana below the Communities that surround Indianapolis are in Area Code 812, Area Code 930 was added to
the Southern portion of the State.

A few years before the 930 Area Code was added along with 812, I learned
that West Virginia, where my Brother lives got a second Area Code.
He told me his neighbor next door has a different Area Code than he does.

Title: Beaumont Inn Kentucky Hot Brown

Thanks for the Hot Brown Recipe.
I never ate a Hot Brown.
I've walked by the Brown Hotel at Fourth and Broadway as I was going
to watch a Movie at one of the Theater'a in Downtown Louisville,
but I never ate anything there.

My older Brother took Me and my other Brother inside the Brown Hotel.
I 'think' I remember the Cafeteria was on the First Floor and there
was a Electric-Eye Door Opener at its entrance.

Us boys just had to wave our hand over the Light to see the Door Open,
then my older Brother said we should go out and get on the bus to go home.

I will have to look when I shopping to see what Emmenthaler cheese is.
I've never heard of that kind of Cheese.

Maybe the WordWeb Dictionary on this pc knows what Emmenthaler Cheese is.

YEP!. Sure Does! - it (WW) says "Swiss Cheese with Large Holes".

I was looking at the Note: and was wondering if the Hot Brown
originated early in the Last Century, not This One.

Note: This is a regional favorite that originated at

It's along the same dystopian lines.

My state went from AT&T to Illinois Bell to Ameritech then back to AT&T.
The determining factor in area codes is mathematical - the number of subscribers capable of being served. With the expansion of cell phones
in addition to traditional land lines the need for more area codes has blossomed. Or so I am told by the guys in one of my confuser clubs who
work for Ma Bell.
