DQ, you have to be talking about Dairy Queen, right!!! Down here in Texas and the rest of the south that's what DQ means.

You're absolutely correct, RQ. How did you know? On road trips, we install a special device that causes our car to take exit ramps which have a DQ nearby, primarily to have a Blizzard fix. I can still recall a cherry chocolate chip blizzard in Myrtle Creek, Oregon that was the high point of the long drive down I-5 toward Crater Lake. Yumm.

As for the other kind of blizzard - I've forgotten all about last winter. Warm weather is here, the lilac bloomed just in time for me to gather a bouquet to greet my wife on Mother's Day, and all is right with the world. Until next winter........

Are you telling me they have DQ's north of the Mason-Dixon line. Now that's just ridiculous. The DQ slogan is and sung "DQ, that's what I love about Texas". But maybe they change the state name all over the country? And the first DQ was located in Illinois . . . and all along I've been brainwashed to think it's a Texas eatery hard core. Texas can't claim everything even though we like to. A

And I really do miss Lilacs . . . really I do!!!
