Kyle, I promised to check out whether the Cracked Claw is still around but
things have been happening here and I haven't done it yet -- so sorry!

Bad Betty, Bad, bad Betty.

  Speaking of eats, and a thread I just can't give up, there used to be a
  place called "The Black-Eyed Pea" near Herndon, VA.  Anybody know if it's
  still there.  They used to serve soul food "family-style".  You'd pay one
  price and sit at a big table with a bunch of other folks (total strangers)
  and pass around big platters and bowls--family style!  I haven't been there
  since '89, so it may be long gone.

 I'll check out these leads Kyle buddy, and get back to you.  In the meantime,
 I've got to uncover my bird's cages soon or they'll rip my face off when I
 finally do.  My time is not my own around here.
