Go to Google World and you can see any location, at least the one's I've
checked, from street level. Quite an interesting application.

I've been to Eddies a few times probably 30 or more years ago.


I'll try to figure it out.

Actually it Google Earth

http://earth.google.com/

Figured that. I have it installed and use it now and then.
Still haven't tried the "street view."
Back in the '80's I saw a demo of CICS a (mainframe stuff) app
where they had videotaped every street and every public building
in a Colorado town. Might have been Colorado Springs, but it
was a tourist type town.
You could basically drive down every street and enter every public
building with your keyboard using the CICS interface.
Neat in a way. Sort of scary in some ways too.
Tourism industry probably killed it.
You know, like the gas companies killed that tablet you put in water
to make gasoline.

The problem is keeping the data current. Did you use those tablets too? 8)

Yes, keeping it current is a problem. But I expect to see more of
this done.
Never used the tablets. Overkill. Had spark plugs that saved 35%
fuel, gas line magnets for another 35% and the water injection system
for another 35%. Got tired of mopping up the gas overflowing the gas
tank, so I went back to stock.
(Saw that on a bubble gum wrapper 40 years ago.)

Not a chance. Unless you stop all this talking about boats.

We used to take our boats to a number of restaurant/watering holes on
the chain.

How's that?

What the hell does that mean?

I hope you're lucky enough to be among those who'll be taxed at a
higher rate.

You could only hope for that.


I know you're an asshole.
Really? You are a psychotic, paranoid, reprobate.

You're a bloody waste of time.

Now that's funny. I wasn't a waste of time when you posted your
bull**** - only after my truthful response.

So in typical WAFA fashion, you are exiting this "debate" with
name-calling. Next you will invoke your alleged kill file.

Carry on...

DK got promoted to a bloody waste of time?
That's a long way up from floating turd...was it a social promotion?

In honor of his coming out party. He's reached "****ing dick" status.

Yup. Typical and expected.

I got rid of him a long time ago. You have a lot more patience for these
useless ****heads than I do.

There are several in the bozo bin. FD is teetering.

WAFA doesn't miss a post. He's been caught in that lie.

Add me to your list, dumbass. What are you waiting for?

Think I had a burger once at the Sandbar on Lake Marie.
Putted past Blarney Island the only time I went through Grass Lake.
But the grandfolks lived right off Bluff lake, and she was a good
cook.
I know squat about chain eateries.

Last time I was interested in the subject, McDonald's had the best fries
of any of the crapfood chains. Oh...and awful burgers, a characteristic
it shares with Wendys and Burger King.

Krystal's...the best burgers. Really. And fries second only to Mcdonald's.

We're off to Florida for a mini-vacation soon, and my guess is that by
the time we deplane, get our luggage and pick up the rental car, it'll
be lunch time. We're going to...Krystal's!

Krystal's can't hold a candle to White Castle's "sliders".
