I now check with Flight Service
for TFRs -- but I always called them for a flight briefing before each
flight anyway.

Well, almost always:

Shucks, that don't always do it either.
I had a flight brienfing, (CAVU) with flight following. It was a
beautiful clear day. I hit turbulence so strong south of Toledo the
Deb stalled in level flight at Va.

It only existed for maybe 5 to 10 miles and then it was smooth again.

As Mr. Honeck stated:

"Turns out that they [Cedar Rapids Approach Control] are getting
PIREPs from pilots all over, reporting moderate to severe
turbulence up to 6000 feet, and beyond."

It's pretty clear, that had Mr. Honeck availed himself of all the
available information as mandated by regulation, he would have been
issued a PIREP for turbulence. And his absolute statement in this
thread concerning obtaining a FSS flight briefing before departing
conflicts what he wrote in that message thread.
