My great-grandfather used to run a "decoy" throw-away still right next to the road so the revenuers would not venture further into the woods and find the real operation.

It was a different state back then when you were born. Not the eff'd up place it is now.
We are going to move out next year, probably to the Palm Springs area. Will give me a good excuse to get a track car with Chuckwalla about an hour away :D

When my grandfather died, my pop and I flew into Longview, TX and met up so we could go to the funeral together. Since the funeral was the day of our arrival, we both showed up in black suits, white shirts, with sunglasses because it's hotter than Satan's butthole in East Texas during summer.

My pop suggested that we should go see his childhood home since we had a couple of hours to burn, so we picked up our rental car (a black Crown Vic) and headed out to see the property.

The crackhead living in my pop's childhood home took one look at the two MIBs who climbed out of the black Crown Vic in his driveway and took off running across the pasture, shouting to his mama that the Feds were there.
I love this story! Having spent time in that area I can absolutely see this happening. Mama was probably out back tending the shine still or cooking a new batch of crank.
and loading the 12 gauge ........

Oh Texas was pretty back-assward when I was there. The attitude of the majority of the common public was very 1850's. Probably still that way.

Glad to see you moving. Get that track car!

That questions leads to numerous ideas for reply posts that would create havoc. That's close to the "Where do you put your cellphone" classic.

Is there any evidence to disprove the theory that MPawelek is an alt for Johnny Irish?

Upon further review, it appears that you are onto something.
