My Old Man was an Air Force Officer and (at that time) was stationed at Vandenberg AFB. He went TDY (Temporary Duty) to Greenville SC so off we went in the family car. We stopped in a little Mexican Cafe in Demming New Mexico for Tamales. As a kid, I have never eaten anything so good - and so damned hot, in my life. Looked over at the Old Man and the sweat was rolling off his head...he said that they were so good he couldn't stop eating 'em. That memory has lasted in my noggin since 1962. Some things you just never forget.
