1. The power company should be more reliable.

3. Cigar smoking should be banned in all dining areas.

Everything is fine now. The power is back on.
LOL, love it....coffee makes anything better even if you have to push up a heavy garage door by hand, it's worth it.... LOL to make the world look better.... LOL !

They probably would give better service if they could find some people to work.

Speaking of rumors - there is a rumor that the Colony MD is planning to open inside for seating beginning today June 7. MD’S senior coffee is excellent and the cheapest around at 75 cents plus tax. That price will likely go higher soon. Another rumor.

Cigar smoking is allowed in restaurants in Florida? Is cigarette smoking allowed in restaurants in Florida? I haven’t experienced that in the U.S. in decades.

The line at McDonalds reminds me of the comedian Martin Mull’s song called “Suburban Blues”.

I woke up this afternoon—both cars were gone!
Yes, I woke up this afternoon—both my cars were gone!
I got so upset I threw my drink across the lawn!

Why do you need inside seating to drink a cup of coffee when you've got a perfectly good cup holder inside of your car? That is the puzzle here.
