remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
Dont forget the eyeballs,Down in South Texas I seen pickled fish eyes next to the pickled goats eyeballs in a mexican deli. They had peppers,onions,in vinegar and olive oil. You could buy a eyeball in the taverns down there in the brush country to put in your beer.
