Bloodsucking Freaks Are In Otsego County, New York
I'm not sure how it is by you, but in my neck of the woods, it's been a bonanza of bad behavior from the ancient bane of mammalian existence: the mosquito. Their presence goes back at least 100.5 million years ago - 66 million years ago. T-Rex still walked the Earth during this time. The irony is that when the apocalypse happens, all the world will be left with will be cockroaches, mosquitoes, and zombies. Lots of zombies.

Otsego County, New York Food Truck Features Star Wars Menu
Thick, fragrant smoke blurs my vision as I approach the red wagon. Anticipation of what's to come clouds my thoughts as my hunger deepens and cravings dance about my mind. As I'm about to succumb to the hunger demons, a figure emerges from the red wagon, holding a disposable container. It's James Lawson, owner of AJ's Smokin' BBQ, and the food gods are about to view me with favor. James knows my proclivity surrounding cuisine, and asks me to try everything and give him feedback. I dive into the plate of pulled pork and sides while flavors of smoke and sweet and tangy sauce make themselves known.
