The high:


Today is the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian
genius whose work epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal and whose Last
Supper (1495-98) and Mona Lisa (1503-06) are widely influential paintings.
Born in 1452.


The low:


On this day in 1955, Roy Croc opened the first McDonald's franchise in Des
Plaines, Illinois, and in that same year started the McDonald's
Corporation.


:)


I believe it was Ray Croc. First store was about 2 miles from my childhood
home.


If McDonald's was unionized Harry would be gushing about it.

Can you imagine the increased apathy of the workers at McDonald's if it
was unionized?- Hide quoted text -

I'd like to know why Harry doesn't post this drivel over at Chuck's
site. He's been here lauding Chuck's place and dissing this place, but
he posts here more than he does there......
