For all practical purposes,
McDonalds is now a Mexican food outlet.


Not here. It's _exclusively_ black. If you find a white person working
in a McDonald's around here, it's because they're a temp.

I have not been able to get an order right from a McD's in five years. I
quit them entirely, even though I happen to _like_ their "****".

Up here McD is exclusively white. Something about being near the 45th parallel and it
being a bit cold some times. My order gets screwed up quite often.

When I go down state, Flint and further south, it tends to be black and my order tends to
be okay most of the time.

My order has never been screwed up at Mickey D's. I don't eat there,
'cept for their delicious and nutritious $1 ice cream cones after a
hot day at work every once in awhile. Hamburger is death-in-waiting
by e-coli.

For a quick lunch, if I don't make my own, I go to Taco Bell or get
tacos at Jacque in ze Bocques. For a longer lunch, it's usually green
curry chicken at Sunflower Thai Restaurant. Yummmm!

There's a new Vietnamese restaurant, Pho, in town that I think I'll
try this afternoon.

Pho (the beef noodle soup where thinly sliced raw meat cooks in the
broth) is one of the great inventions of the Viet/French. If they have
iced coffee give that a try too. And a dollop of Sriracha..

on Rosemead in SoCal.

you don't lose all the other ages you've been.
