I like provolone cheese on mine, no wiz for me, with fried onions, no ketchup with salt and pepper. A hot pepper on the side is good too.I had one for dinner tonight. Homemade. But you have to go to a butcher to get right kind of meat and sliced the way it should be. Was awsome!
The film 'Rocky' was named because of the boxer - 'Rocky' Marciano - he was the American heavy weight champion. Sometime in the early 1950s he was scheduled to fight Don Cockle our British champion. The fight took place in America and was being broadcast 'live' on the radio. My Dad (George) was a keen boxing fan and he set his alarm to be up early (circa 02.00) to listen to the fight. He was disappointed, because by the time he got downstairs, turned on the radio and allowed it time to warm up - the fight was all over - didn't last more than 2 minutes - 'Rocky' knocked out Don Cockle.

Re: Love where you live do you?
Oh goodness! I've been away from this forum for a while and never saw this thread. I do so love the Pacific Northwest of the United States. I live in Oregon that has every climate and natural wonder you could name. We're surrounded with Hundreds of miles of Pacific Ocean just 60 miles to my West after driving/riding through the Cascade mountains to get there. We have waterfalls everywhere, along with lakes, rivers and streams that cascade over smaller falls. We have snow-topped mountain ranges surrounding Portland, Oregon where I live. I'm actually in a valley and can see them from local highways as if you could reach out and just touch them. To my East there are high deserts and volcanic lava fields. In that area there is open range with barren lands allowing you to see for miles.The air and water here are the purist you'll find everywhere. Even our water supply comes from an untreated reservoir touting crystal clean mountain water from the melting snow pack. It's a great place to live.Crater Lake National Park - Southern Oregon

Re: Love where you live do you?
My daughter has a friend in Oregon and he just loves it there. He went to ski on Mt. Hood quite a few times. Very pretty pictures indeed! As much as I love nature, I suppose being born in a big city, that is where my heart is. I love the hustle and bustle, but maybe as I get older, that may change. Yeah, I think there is a strong possibility. Where I live is considered Phila, but I am the last city street before the suburbs begin, so I have the best of both right now, and there is a farm around the corner from me! The Fox Chase Farm. It's kinda strange that we have one, but we do!|
