With apologies to Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore.

If I say its safe to build a lanai, its safe to build a lanai. Smell that? You smell that?
Barbecue, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. Barbecue. My neighbors barbecue.

[kneeling I say], I love the smell of my neighbors barbecue in the morning. You know, one time my neighbor barbecued a pig for 12 hours. When it was done, he invited me over with the other neighbors. It smelled like……….victory. Scratch victory……..I got carried away with the image of Colonel Kilgore kneeling, sniffing and pondering the smell of victory. From my lanai, it smelled like the sweet, pungent whiff of an old fashioned, all day country barbecue. You had to be there as the sound of Wagner blasted from the choppers…..or was that coming from the lanai surround system next door………... as all my lanai appreciating neighbors joined in the feast.
