Thanks for the comments, Moose.

I find that, in these parts, people seem to be vigilant and concerned about people snapping photos. I had my aircraft/police scanner on while working at my desk last week, and heard a unit being dispatched to check on a guy taking pictures from his car. That is why I use the phone for my occasional shot while in commercial establishments. I can do that fairly inconspicuously. Cameras are welcomed at the airport and places of that sort.

The dollar menu is the way to go for us tightwads.

I don't want to put a menu item, the ingredients to which cost $1 or less, into my body.

I have never taken a liking to McD's.

I think some part of you shows a great deal of smarts. :-)

I have never eaten McD's. My sons both went through Happy Meal phases, which I accommodated, but I got my food elsewhere. Fortunately, for all those years, there was an excellent independent fish 'n chips place almost next door to the downtown McD's. Run by a Yorkshire woman and her 'Murkin husband. They used flown in Icelandic cod and made the best spicy cole slaw. He was a fanatic about the oil, never overheating, always straining, never overusing.

Tiny hole in the wall, with an overall beat up, slightly oily ambiance, fabulous food. Nearby was a nice, clean, shiny H. Salt Esq., with really mediocre food. The Salty one went out of business before the local couple sold out to a Japanese man. But he didn't maintain the quality, and eventually went under too.

Nice and clear. Looks good. A lot of white balance issues the camera
handled pretty well.

Yup

McDonald's. A lot of seniors eat at the local McD, as well as every other McD I've been in at mealtimes. They can eat cheap and sit as long as they
like. I can't quite decide if this is a good thing or a sad thing.

Good if they are actually hanging with friends. Bad in that they are filling up bodies already damaged by eating trash with more of it.

The place I hang out with all my old fart buddies is slightly more expensive
than McD, but the quality of food is orders of magnitude superior.

Wiser old farts!
