DOLLAR BILLS ON THE WALL: "BUCK SNORTS"

Last week Ron Ambler submitted an item about a Southern
Maryland restaurant called The Roost where the walls are
decorated with "buck snorts". While searching for the
restaurant's web site, I came across a couple items from a
local paper called St. Mary's Today which reported on a
health scare related to the restaurant.

This week Ron adds: "Cheap shot! St. Mary's Today used
to be a weekly rag that went out of business years ago for
inability to pay its bills. It is now a one-man Internet operation
that no one down here in Southern Maryland takes seriously.
The hepatitis scare was over five years ago, and as far as I
know nothing much ever came of it -- certainly no judgments.
There was a server with hepatitis who did work at all three
of the restaurants (not a very good worker one might judge
from three places of employment in such a short time). I still
routinely enjoy the food and the atmosphere of the Roost,
particularly the huge array of Naval aviation memorabilia,
including the Bucksnort wallpaper."

[Old news lives on forever on the Internet. My apologies
to Ron and the restaurant. Keep The Roost on your radar
for a numismatic vacation side-trip someday. -Editor]
