There are lots of cold cases involving murder and missing people as well as mysteries that may involve space aliens, the supernatural or other participants not of this earth. One has puzzled me more than any other and now we know what's up.
I asked my neighbor Chuck what he had planned for the 4th of July, and he said, "I don't know, but my wife wants a hot dog." Of course, she does! A hot dog craving comes right along with every road trip we'll take this week and every firework we'll see. And there's a reason behind it.
Tad Dorgan coined the "hot dog" phrase back in 1901, where the story is told, that at a baseball game in New Yok (that's the way most New Yorker's pronounce it), Dorgan could hear the vendors shouting "get your dachshund sausages while they're red hot". He simply traded "dachshund" for "hot dog".
It's the beginning of hot dog season...or baseball season, whatever you want to call it. You know how many dogs will be sold at Major League Concession Stands this season? Tons. The exact number is hard to comprehend.
And it's been predicted that the Texas Rangers will sell more than any other major league team. Does it have anything to do with the new 2-footer that has just been introduced?

Even though endorsement contracts began drying up after his headline-making scandal, Woods apparently still has a friend in the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Well, actually, they are just claiming it's against "hot-dog etiquette." Is there such a thing?
