**GRINS** I love this every year; it never fails to make me smile and to teach me something new.
Where I come from, we have the Billy Bowlegs Festival (http://www.billybowlegsfestival.com/) a bit down the coast; the original 'Billy Bowlegs' was actually the nickname of a Seminole chief who fought with great courage in the last two of the three Seminole Wars, but somehow the nickname got appropriated and used for the festival. I wonder some days if the old chief would approve. It's possible; the festival is held in a town with a truly magnificent Tribal museum, the Indian Temple Mound, and the local United South & Eastern Tribes (USET) members own some of the finest hunting and fishing land in the region.
