Trish made so many pancakes, I ate them for days, pancakes with jam, pancakes with peanut butter and jam, pancakes with pickles and so on!  We visited the Texas State Prison Museum, we seen the electric chair that they used for 30 years before going to the needle to eliminate all the assholes. It was very interesting to me after my 25 years in the prison system.  When they showed the collection of weapons used to kill guards, I was able to identify with the T-Bone steak bone as a weapon, I had a friend stabbed in the throat with the same type of bone in Halifax, he could never speak or work again!  Also we never had T-Bone steaks on Sundays for supper again!  Also a Warden was killed one time with his own handgun in Texas!  No guns in the Canadian provincial systems, those guns in the Federal system, are few also, shotguns over the dining hall and gym with scatter shot to prevent other inmates from being killed and rifles in the wall turrets, with orders to shoot escapees only in the lower legs, the guards in the dining hall and gym are locked in a cage above the inmates.  The Texas guards over the years had guns while on horseback ,while supervising workers,,and manys the times the guns  were taken away from the guard, to execute him!
