Now I ask you - why does the town of Putnam need one big corporate
supported coffee, muffin/pastry/donut shop per 766 people?

Seriously.

Over staffed police department?

My god you yankees eat a lot of donuts. Here in Tallahassee (roughly
200,000 people), we have only a single Krispy Kreme and the two Dunkin
Donuts places closed. I preferred Dunkin and will not eat Krispy
kreme.

I prefer Dunkin doughnut but I quit going there because their doughnuts
tasted like an ashtray. They have a coffe shop (people smoke) where
they
store their doughnuts (uncovered). They have since gone out of
business,
too late for the state law banning smoking in places that serve food to
have
an effect on my eating habits.


Fortunately in Maryland most restaurants have banned smoking. One diner
we visit up in Annapolis has a smoking section, but it literally is
behind glass doors that seal tightly.

We have a nice Italian restaurant in our area that used to allow smokers
in one section, but the owner listened to complaints, shut down the
smoking section and then re-decorated it to get rid of the stench.

There's nothing worse than trying to enjoy a meal and encountering the
stench created by smokers and their filthy habit.

Talk about tyranny of the minority.

~~ sheesh ~~

Oddly, I feel the same way about loud, obnoxious drunks in
restaurants. I think we ought to ban the sales of alcohol in all
restaurants.

Think of the lives that would save. It would help rid the world of
drinkers and their brain addling, liver killing, drunken driving
addiction.

You need a DA who'll charge people with murder instead of vehicular homicide
or whatever 2nd rate crime they throw at drunks. In the end, the murder
charge won't stick, but it scares the bejeezus out of the drunk, and they'll
end up pleading to something slightly less, and still do LOTS of time. It
worked nicely on a woman near here, who killed two people when she got onto
a dark highway going the wrong way. She's doing 20-something years.

After the trial, jury members said they were fascinated by the DA's premise
because the defendant claimed to watch x amount of TV each week, for a
certain number of years, she was exposed to more than enough public service
ads about DWI. With this in mind, he said he fully intended to kill when she
put the keys in the ignition. One juror was iffy about it, so rather than
risk letting the bitch walk, the plea bargain happened.
