So, today (Thursday) was very long. Work, parent-teacher conferences, and then a meeting. Nothing exciting. Instead, I will tell you about something that is also not very exciting, but certainly very annoying.
Wednesday I went to McDonald’s to pick up some food and sat at the pick-up window for somewhere between 5-10 minutes. It was long enough that I thought a couple of times about turning off the engine, then finally turned off the engine, then sat there thinking I should have turned off the engine much, much sooner. Finally, as the young employee apologized for the wait, she brightly said, “But the Filet-O-Fish is hot!” Then the guy behind me honked. Pipe down, honker. I’m getting hot fish here.
I zipped home as quickly as possible…..only to be stopped at the railroad tracks as the locomotive passed by. DANG IT. This is the sloooooooooooooooooow moving 6:00 train that must be avoided at all costs. It takes….. an eternity to pass by. Long enough for me to take a picture of the new Dollar Store, which I will never enter out of spite. (Long story)
And also our gravel/brick/concrete block ‘store’. I have been there. No spite involved.
The whole while, my fish and fries cooled to truck temperature.
Dang. Dang. Dang.

Seward has a Dollar General store? How exciting! Was that the store where I once found Quisp cereal?
Baltimore McDonaldses just started offering fish sandwiches made with Old Bay seasoning. I haven’t tried one yet.

We’ve actually had a Dollar General for a long time. It used to be in the old Ben Franklin store, which was incredibly convenient since it was on my way home from work. I didn’t go there very often, but the few times that I needed something from Wal-Mart but was too tired after work to go there, usually Dollar General would have something similar that would do.
But now it’s moved. I am NOT driving across those railroad tracks to its new dumb location to buy its dumb cheap stuff. I’m sure they will feel the financial sting of my absence.

We also noticed that Mc Donald’s misspells Fillet in Filet-O-Fish. Our current theory is that the official meaning of Fillet isn’t, “a bunch of fish parts pressed together”, so they can’t actually call it that.
Deborah says
I’m with you on the Dollar General move. Bad idea. They won’t get my business, ether.
