One of the few good things about the good old days was the number of butchers around instead of mega peat packing houses where critters go in at one end and their boneless bits come out the other, wrapped in cling wrap and chilled down to one degree above freezing.

If you said the bones were for a dog, they were free. If they were for soup, they were dirt cheap. I learned that one fast and always had a fantasy dog.
