This place about 2 miles from my House in Florida.  Excellent food.  Best street corn I have had so far.

I didn’t recognize it because although I absolutely love Mexican street corn, I’ve never seen it offered still on the cob.  There’s a great restaurant by me where that is their specialty and people come from far away just to get their Mexican street corn
Yeah, on the cob is elotes, and off the cob is esquites.  There are some local places that offer esquites but in Mexico, I don't think I've ever seen it OFF the cob.  As a street food it's simpler and more straightforward for a vendor to make it and serve it on the cob.

ETA-- When it's elotes on the cob I've always had it grilled, while sometimes esquites is boiled and cut off the cob and then loaded up with the seasonings and served.  That's fine, it still tastes good, but it's much much MUCH better grilled.

I like fresh corn with butter so much I have a hard time adding more stuff to it.

Scheffler is only 2 back going into today, but I doubt he wins. Ted Scott is not carrying the bag today.

Not sure Fleetwood can get over his throat constriction problem, so he's really only 1 back.

I clicked on ticketmaster for the UGA-Tech game this year.  Cheapest seats $130 ranging to $850, in the MB Dome this year for some reason ($$$$$$).  The Dome seats more than Tech's stadium.  If Tech has a good year, which they well could, it might be only 70:30 red this time around.
Dare to tempt the ECFG?

Part of why I love golf. Everything just gets scrambled sometimes.

I did not.  I don't even know what that is.  I'm not that interested in attending.  I went once in part to see the stadium.

CFB ticket pricing has gotten prohibitive, while my TV still works.

Well, back in the Good Ol Days, Hooky Hornstein came up with a term to describe when someone was being boastful about their team. He said that it was the Evil Capricious Football Gods. 
He warned us not to tempt them.

My problem mainly is being lazy.  I excel at that without much effort.  It's obviously easier, and cheaper, to lounge on the sofa and watch the game on a relatively old TV that is still more than adequate.  If I attend in person I'm going to be in a nosebleed.  

And I don't want to tempt any of the capricious gods of any ilk.
