Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
They've been expanding slowly eastward. They came to AZ maybe ten years ago. We have one in town. The owner is moving part of their headquarters to Tennessee but I think distribution is still California for now. I would imagine they will set up another distribution at some point and expand more in the east. I didn't think they had gone further east though than Texas yet,
Do you feel the same about them as Paul?

They are very good and one of our favorite burger joints. They are our go-to if we want a 'refreshing' burger as they are light and taste very healthy (but are filling) but their fries are run of the mill. If we want a burger with real bottom or something different like a Mushroom (sorry Paul) Swiss burger, Culver's is our go-to and I think their fries are better. We haven't had them often enough to call them a favorite but Freddy's is right up there as well along with good hot dogs on New England-style buns.

--CORRECTION-- according to my wife, In and Outs fries are the best, for the first ten minutes but they don't stay hot long or reheat well. I still prefer Culver's fries.

I don't eat Culver's fries... Cheese curds is where it's at.
 
I should not have popped over to the Duchess site and viewed their menu. Now I'm hungry again and I just ate lunch.
I've heard Norwalk is only a couple hour plane trip followed by a car ride from Sky Harbor...

Not worth the TSA hassle, I think you have to check your clothes now if you have more than three pockets total.

For years I have contemplated a new airline where you board and fly naked to avoid the TSA. Pick up your clothes on the other end. Just not sure what to name the airline...
