Earthquakes produce Infrasound waves that precede the earthquake by several seconds. Lots of animals can sense this and know it means trouble. Dogs have very keen sensory abilities.

I read that "spittin' image" was an American southern drawl pronunciation of "spirit and image", which was a popular way to describe a person's close similarity to another. "Jim is the spirit and image of his grandfather", for example.

Regarding Andrew's comment, the lump charcoal I use is commonly made IN AMERICA from hardwood scrap, such as cutoffs from oak flooring manufacture. It is actually turning a waste product into a commodity right here in the USA. I would never hurt a gorilla for charcoal --you shouldn't either! Buy American charcoal!!!!

Definitely lump charcoal for me. It's not just the taste either --only charcoal gets hot enough to really sear the meat properly so it can char without becoming dried out and tough. As others have attested, the chimney starter method is very fast and efficient, and needs no lighter fluid. I work a tough 9 hour day, but I still find it to be quite easy to fire up a smaller grill (like my Weber Smokey Joe) for dinner. By the time I have the food prepped, coals are ready. I also like that you can take any unburnt coals from the bottom of the grill and re-burn them until only ash remains, which eliminates a lot of waste. I'll never go back!

I bought one of these about 5 years ago in a dollar store in Kansas City, with plans of transforming it into a pooping pug. The jellybeans are root beer flavored!
