Tri-Tip Recipes, What Cut of Meat?
Judy writes,
"Hi Lompoc People, Does anyone in Lompoc know about the roast called try-tip? I lived in Lompoc in 1993, every Sunday we had try-tip for our Sunday meal. We
always barbecued it. We moved to Windsor, Ontario Canada. I need to know what cut the meat is from. At my grocery store no one has ever
heard of try-tip.
Thank you
Judy"

Dennis writes, "You're right, it's not highly publicized and it may be because of the
following: There isn't a lot visible above ground at the original site except for a
small portion of the chapel entry arch. Much of the remainder was
buried by mudslides in the 1812 earthquake..."

Internet Cable Provider Question
Carol Paterson writes,
"My parents live in Lompoc and currently have dial-up internet access. I am looking for high-speed access for them. It looks like Verizon and
Earthlink offer DSL. Do you know if anyone else does? Are there any internet cable providers?
Thanks so much for your help."
