Atlanta, Knoxville rattled as earthquake shakes the Southeast | Fox Weather

I was sitting here and felt some very slight wobbles, about like a truck going by.  I thought it was a quake.

As I fired up the smoker this weekend, I remembered @utee94 mentioned he was boiling crawfish.  I lolz'd at the thought of a Texan boiling crawfish while a Louisianan grilled.

I'm sorry, did you smoke or did you grill? 

These are distinct things.

Look, we've already been through this, and it's well established I know nothing about cooking, cooking terms, nor do I care. 

I used a pellet grill which produces smoke to grill some hamburger patties.  Thus I claim to have "fired up the smoker" because that's what it is, and I grilled the burgers with it, because that's what people usually say they do with burgers.  Beyond that, I really don't care.  

[betarhoalphadelta]

Yeah, a pellet grill will certainly smoke roast some burgers

A couple years back, I got a United "affinity" credit card, free for the first year, free luggage etc.  OK fine.  We don't fly "UNited" often, and I got the bill to keep the card I don't use, $95.  So, I go on line to cancel, no can do.  I call and go through their "extensive" menu, being patient, and finally reach an actual person.  

I'm not surprised of course.  It was annoying.  Anyway, saved the $95.  I hope.

I got coaxed into the AMEX Delta SkyMiles card back in March.  All bags fly free for me and up to 8 pals, LOL.

Anyhow, If I put 3 grand on it before the 1st 6 months is up, I get 80,000 SkyMiles allegedly.  I'm not even sure what 80,000 miles will buy me.  Probably not much.

I was ready to cancel an old Capital One card I had anyway, so it'll do as a replacement regardless.  And free checked bags for me, and 8 of my closest friends....

Or maybe it was 8 total bags in my entourage?  Whatever.

4 or more flights if you're prudent.
