Breakfast or lunch, it matters not to me! A Beef on Weck and a glass
of Genny would be a great way to enjoy some ham camaraderie.

I might opt for a soft drink instead of the Genny, but other than that
it sounds good to me. Be sure and let me know ahead of time next time
you plan to head up this way, and we'll plan a get-together.

(For those not familiar with Western new York culture, Genny is a
locally brewed beer that's quite popular in these here parts)

Rochester, to be exact. Gawd, I miss that stuff. Red hots, beef on a
weck, real wings.....

If you get to Rochester or Syracuse, check out Dinosaur BBQ.

Snow blower!? You ain't a "real" Western New Yorker! If you were,
you'd use a shovel like they used to do a hundred years ago. It's
still a perfectly efficient and viable means of snow removal. Anybody
who uses a snow blower is just plain lazy. :-)

Damn straight. ;-)

I still have and use my shovel from Palmyra/Newark days. Just the
right size for the car trunk, snow slips right off, eay on the back.

If I were to
ever move again, I think I'd just go to various places and walk
around carrying a snow shovel. As soon as someone asked me,
"What the heck is THAT?" -- I'd stop!

Reworking of old Navy story about a sailor with an oar...

Just make sure the guy who asks is a local resident and not some
tourist from somewhere in the Mojave Desert who's just visiting! Or
one of those lazy types who's just interested in clearing the driveway
and has never even owned a shovel like a "real" Western New Yorker.

Ayup. Or who thinks "lake effect" has something to do with a
California basketball team...

Something tells me that I'm stepping into a henway, but what is beef on
a weck?

Here in SE Tennessee we use snow shovels as talismen against
anyone who would dare bring snow here!

A truly excellent sandwich. Roast beef on a kemmelweck roll (a type of round
roll properly made only in the region, just as true hoagie rolls are only made
by Amoroso).

I may have told this one before, but years ago I was in North Tonawanda as part
of a project for work. February, of course, and of course that particular job
involved lots of time out-of-doors. Some vendors took us to lunch at the place
where wings allegedly were invented. One of the vendors salesfolk made the
mistake of saying "you can't make 'em too hot and spicy for me". The restaurant
staff proved him wrong.

A sandwich consisting of sliced roast beef on a kimmel weck roll. Back
in the days BC (before chicken wings), beef on weck was the delicacy
of choice around here.

Mike:

These days, probably about $4.95, plus drink, tax, and tip. More specifically,
it's thin-sliced roast beef on a Küemmelweck roll. Very tasty with some
extra-sharp horseradish and a nice big dill pickle on the side!

Nephew Timothy trucks off to Rochester Tech for a degreee in fine arts
photography Rochester being Kodak country and all that. A few months
later he's grousing about spending more time digging out his dorm than
he spends in class and the darkrooms. Family e-mail circuit lights up,
tells him to hang tough, it can't be that bad, get a bigger shovel,
you need the exercise, you're just a spoiled brat.

Nothing further heard from him on the subject of snow.

Xmas eve of his Sophomore year he completely announcededly blasts up
the driveway (you've been up that driveway James, heh)in a U-Haul
truck full of all his crap from his dorm room.

"I quit, I quit, I quit, dammit they're all raving lunatics, their
brains are frozen solid, they don't enough common sense to do anything
BUT shovel the damned stuff!


Brian:

Pity. A degree in Photography from Rochester Tech could have meant
that your nephew could have got something most "photographers" out
there can only dream of: A job as a photographer that pays real money!

I did the "I wanna be a photographer" bit myself for many years -- in fact,
they were the 14 years when I was whining about code testing requirements
in the ARS. I even had the requisite rubber stamp for the back of my
prints that said, "Lawrence J. Roll, Photographer." I actually did a bit of
paying work, shooting weddings and high school yearbook headshots for
a studio. I won various prizes in photo contests in my own college and
others in the WNY area. After joining the Air Force, I did 100% of the
photos for my squadron yearbook during my tour in Korea, and later got
to make some actual offical USAF photos when I was stationed at
Andrews. One of my all time favorites is a shot of Pope John Paul II
on his arrival at Andrews for his 1979 visit; he is holding the infant son
of a young Sergeant on the base and his XYL who were there to greet
His Holiness that day. This photo was sent to Rome and I received
a letter of acknowledgement stating that it was placed on display on
some wall somewhere in the Vatican. I also have some amazing
photos of President and Mrs. Reagan on the Andrews flightline as they
walked from the Marine One helicopter to Air Force One prior to
departure on one of their many trips I "worked" as a Special Air Missions
Coordinator. I've got to get those photos copyrighted; they could be
worth a few bucks someday!

I've been shutterbugging since about when radio got my attention.
Let's take it offline, watch yer e-mail inbox maybe Sunday.

Note to All:

Sorry, I misspelled "Kümmelweck." If you use the umlaut over the "u,"
the "e" is thereby implied, and is unnecessary.

North Tonawanda (or just NT to us locals) is my home town. I still
spend more time in NT than in the Township of Tonawanda where I live
now. Assuming they took you to the correct place, that would be the
Anchor Bar on Main Street in Buffalo.

That was the place, as I recall.

quantities of whatever available liquid was nearby.

Oyez! We all did. And again about 30 hours later....

They were GOOD, though. Not too hot for me!

And there is nothing stopping you from enjoying the hobby of photography
either! I routinely spend time each week driving around for those perfect
shots. There are other ways to earn money in photography as well. Try
surviellance photography. Try crime/arson scene photography/documentation.
Those are two different ways that I make a little extra income on the side
that definitely helps! And they are definitely fun, and you see some amazing
stuff!
