"The Stubbs Club"

Across the street from Mr. Chance's store is a successful eatery that has attracted national fame.

Jay Khorrami has owned Coppell Deli for 12 years and is also a member of the merchants' group.

An encounter with Dallas Cowboys player Nate Newton led to national exposure for Mr. Khorrami in 1994 when he made the All-Madden team for his trademark Stubbs Breakfast Sandwich.

The deli is decorated with Cowboys' logos and pictures, and it attracts a standing-room-only lunch crowd.

Construction workers, teenagers and retired folk gather around the tables. They munch on onion rings and hamburgers as tall as they are wide.

"Other small cities around us don't have an old downtown area," Mr. Khorrami said. "And I think that with as much traffic as we have here, we could make this a real attraction with preservation of an old-fashioned place."

Let's be like the Simpsons and make everything better by going to Krusty Burger. Or Coppell Deli...whichever comes first. Oh, and I'm not the only unemployed person sitting in Austin with little to do.

'Tis a dark and rainy day!

It's raining outside. It was just drizzling and not raining hard until just after me and Terri ate lunch at the store. Luckily lunch was Coppell Deli, and it was excellent. Then when we stepped outside the store, it was POURING. Yes. That bad. Rain that comes down this hard is worse than fog, because even with all the various lights I had, I couldn't see the road, or lanes, or anything. Coming back from Valley Ranch/Coppell there were at least 3 bad accidents on Eastbound 635, involving small vehicles (little teal Cavalier witha badly damaged front end) to a large 18-wheeler stuck in the HOV lane with the front on the median wall. Pretty bad.

Anyway, I woke up this morning, and went to Coppell Deli for breakfast. Those Stubbs sure are mmm, mmm good. Then went back to Sandy's to rake leaves. Lots and lots and lots and lots of leaves. 8 trash bags full to be exact. Yeah, that's a lot of leaves.
