If you say so.  I doubt I'd even do that.  Hot dogs are something I make at home, not purchase at a restaurant.

Hot dogs "out" are insanely expensive, really.  If you go to a Nathan's out they are what, $4 each?  You can buy a pack of 8 for $5 easily.  It's not as if it takes a chef to cook them.  So, you add the cost of some buns and mustard and whatever else, you can make nice dogs at home easily for well under a buck each.

The Costco polish dogs are decent for $1.50 and come with a drink.  They were selling pizza today there by the slice.

At the Coney I-Landers in Tulsa, a Regular Coney--with mustard, chili & onions--is $1.69.  A Cheese Coney--with mustard, chili, onions & cheese--is $1.89.  A small refillable soda is $1.39, so three cheese coneys--all I care to eat for lunch--and a drink runs about $7.75 with tax.  I can't replicate them at home.  I can make up good hot dogs in a variety of ways, but I can't replicate coneys from Coney Island/I-Lander.  Whenever my niece and nephew from Texas come to visit, they always want to hit the closest Coney I-Lander.

That is about the price of a cheese coney in Cincinnati, give or take, and they are not hard to make at home, should one wish, perhaps they are a bit different.

But, I'm talking about a regular run of the mill hot dog like you'd get at Nathan's.  One nice thing about hot dogs at the MB Dome in ATL is the dogs are $1 each.

The chili is what is hard to replicate.
There was a guy in Norman who wanted to start a Coney I-Lander franchise.  The Economou family declined, so he started his own "Top Daug"* coney restaurant.  He's gotten close, but the chili isn't quite the same.
* "Top Daug" was OU's basketball mascot during the Billy Tubbs era.

Blue Angels and Thunderbirds over New York City

That's cool, 320!

Four F-16s from Tulsa's 138th Fighter Wing of the OK ANG overflew the hospitals here yesterday.

I love watching the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds, so cool!

My wife used to play Oregon Trail

She would name all the people after her actual family members

By the time she made it to Oregon we were all toast
