Indeed they are! The Parent company is actually called "Brookshire Brothers", of which I have seen several here in houston. From I've been able to tell, Super 1 is to Brookshire's as Sam's Club is to Wal-Mart. (same company, cheaper prices)

Actually, that's not true. Brookshire's and Brookshire Brothers are related family member run storesbut not the same company. A big family fallout years and years ago created a divide that split the brothers. One brother ran with one area of Texas while the other, based here in Tyler, did his thing. Brookshire's HQ is here in Tyler and is the biggest and most successful of the two.

I saw where IHOP is buying Applebees.

Has anyone ever seen Donald Fagen of Steely Dan and Dr. Evil in the same room at the same time?

I haven't, but I'm guessing you have...

It's hilarious to watch how clueless politicians and their helpers are about technology!!! It's a simple fix, and they are acting like it's the end of the world!!! hahaha

No I saw a Classic Albums episode about the making of AJ'A and I swear Donald Fagen looked just like Dr. Evil with hair.

There is a $20 charge for having a bag weigh more than 50lbs on an airplane. Passengers are limited to two free bags. So, each passenger is allowed 100lbs free to bring on the airplane. But, since I weigh 100lbs less than several of the passengers sitting on that very same flight, do they get charged more or am I allowed to bring heavier bags? Note, I'm not talking about fat people, but I only weigh 180lbs. There are lots of people who aren't "fat" that weigh much more than me.

Also, a lady on the plane flew with her infant. Does that infant count as a carry on? I think he should. I wouldn't want her carrying another bag, plus a personal item, plus the child.

And finally, that new "sniffer" located in airport security shouldn't just check for harmful chemicals, it should also check for smelly people. The dude I had to sit next to today had no business being around people in an enclosed space.

The last time I flew with an infant I had to pay for him. The fee, though, was similar to the fee for excess luggage.

Well, I don't have a problem with an infant flying. I would have a problem with someone trying to attend to an infant while carrying several other bags and going through the airport nonsense. Or maybe the nonsense is different when you have an infant, I dunno?

It seems to me that the best course of action is for people with infants to not travel and for everyone in the family to come visit YOU, but I do understand that's not always possible.
