Definitely would not have much business. I'm sure there are a few healthy cops on the force but I've known quite a few and slim or not they really like their donuts! It's not just about the donuts though. It's also about the coffee. They drink tons usually, particularly the night shift guys. A friend of mine owned a DD for little while....

I was looking on Maps for something and happened to notice this. Coincidence that they're both right next to each other?

Great minds think alike!

a health food restaurant across the station from a police
I always thought Tim Bits were a health food. (Holes from the donuts served up by Tim Horton's of Canada which is really Burger King of Florida which is really 3G Capital of Brazil which also owns Anheuser Busch and which by Norm's account is really a terrorist cell controlled by who knows.)

And what would a very cost-conscious owner of Burger King do with Clydesdales which have retired? Hmmmm....

You could always go to Jack In The Box and have some kangaroo burgers.

See the retort that comes from one of our friends located in France.


Jack in the Box. Went to the one in Mesa AZ with a colleague. He phoned home later to tell his wife that the coke comes in a bucket. I have had better experiences of fine dining. And worse. The very worst dining in a restaurant was in a place, one particular place, in the home town of Kodak in 2005. So bad it was memorable.

While there may be some similarities such as speaking a foreign language and being haughty and proud, I don't think your average South Dakotan would appreciate being re-located to France. Scandinavia maybe but France!?

France ?! Well, the Aulnay photo club swap was fun this morning for me ... got up early to be there at the 9AM opening. Got all the below for 23€ total for one vendor. Cleaned out all his Pentax stuff ... and when I came back by later and found a hood for my Yashica Mat ... well, he just handed it to me and said "take it, free". We talked it up a bit ... gear talk.

Ooops ... gear talk. Désolé.

Spent too much money today , so that's "why I won't buy a k3 tm" ...

Oh, the ME and M 50/1.4 was only 10€ ... the ME works* and the 50 has "cleanable" light fungus ... so I should be able to save it. With a bit of luck ...

* the ME's mode dial is missing the push button release; stuck in "Auto" mode ... but I could maybe fix that via one of my dead ME Super bodies. On verra ...



The other side of the room ...

Jean, you must have a very forgiving wife. Or you're damnably good at hiding things.
