I spent two years in NW Arkansas (never really moved there, but spent three out of four weeks a month there). I completely understand why they call him a Razorback. If you are from the state of Arkansas, you ARE a Razorback. And BTW, NW Arkansas is very underrated. Great weather, great economy. Of course, I was in Wal-Mart town.

Ya know I called Raab probably half a dozen times over the last two years, send him an email or 5, but haven’t heard back from him. He kinda predicted this and told me that he rarely communicates with anyone outside of his sphere – I guess I qualify – but I thought I had a certain rapport with Scott. Guess I was wrong.
And, oh yeah, he stole/borrowed/improved a coupla other of my quotes, but he’s welcome to whatever I can contribute, at any time.
