The quest for BBQ in St. Louis takes me to Smokin’ Al’s https://dfarq.homeip.net/the-quest-for-bbq-in-st-louis-takes-me-to-smokin-als/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-quest-for-bbq-in-st-louis-takes-me-to-smokin-als https://dfarq.homeip.net/the-quest-for-bbq-in-st-louis-takes-me-to-smokin-als/#comments Mon, 17 May 2004 03:55:49 +0000 https://dfarq.homeip.net/?p=1233 I've written many times before about my never-ending search for BBQ in St. Louis.

Recovery time. https://dfarq.homeip.net/recovery-time/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=recovery-time https://dfarq.homeip.net/recovery-time/#comments Tue, 16 Apr 2002 08:05:11 +0000 https://dfarq.homeip.net/?p=464 Taxes. I think I've actually filed my taxes on time twice in my adult life. This year isn't one of them. I filed Form 4868, so Tax Day for me is actually Aug. 15, 2002.
