In the beginning there was Terry...

I met Terry Ricks about two years ago. A friend and I thought it would be fun to check out this dive bar on the outskirts of Atlanta (Debbie's Trackside - burned down last Christmas). We figured we'd have a quick beer and check out the locals... we hadn't counted on meeting someone like Terry.

My buddy and I ordered a couple of beers, and sat down at the bar to soak up the "atmosphere". There was a guy at the other end of the bar with a mustache, wearing a Hawaiian shirt, and big "blue blocker" sunglasses. He said his name was Terry Ricks, and he was there "drinking his last paycheck."

So that was that. We struck up a conversation, and a couple of beers turned into one *very* long night...
