The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for August 04, 2012

6 blocks for fast food? A mere trifle to the Pennys.

Ol’ Burl keeps track of the important stuff. I’ll bet he knows the exact lat and long—to the tenth of a second—of not just the McD’s but the Krispy Kreme, et al. as well!I gotta go, I’m on my way to and all-night TCBY. Got hungry for some junk food all of a sudden. Don’t know why. A1C is gonna go to hell in a handbasket but I’ve got 3 mos to get it right.

Yeah, to Dale, six blocks isn’t “around here,” it’s a torturous half mile away.

He’d have to stop at that Jack-In-The-Box on the next corner, for sustenance along the way.

Good Morning, Crustwood!

Mikie, be careful…. we don’t need YOU to go missing too!

I do understand the lure of junk food… no Puritan, I.

But when I look at that carload, straining the axles of the trusty Exodus, something makes me not want a Jumbo Jack.

I should tape a few of these strips to my dashboard.Of course, I’d need to keep a travel-size M&S SSU Brain Bleach in the glove compartment. (2.6 oz. Available wherever travel size toiletries are sold.)

6 blocks? Wow, that’s a long way to go! Where’s the brain bleach?

Dale must be the lowest common denominator of the group because 3 of the other morons are actually laughing at his statement.

I’m sure they’d know the location of every McDonalds within a 500 hundred mile radius.

Hold up there, Dale. I think that’s your long lost cousins, the Nickles of Ohio.

I don’t understand Mikie’s alphabet soup. My 3 week trip had me wanting a few hot dogs and pizza that were not my healthy ones, and fine dining as well. I was pleased to find my weight still in low 120s first morning back. I did use my daughter’s weights the one night I stayed with her.

Is that a giant wave coming up from behind…? ? ?

I’m guessing that this bunch doesn’t venture too far from home.

Probably a good idea :)

X …. you’re NOT the Find-It today! You don’t have to hide!

…And now you know why this Toledo, Ohioan stays out of Illinois!
