Shirley's Restaurant - Good Old Home Cookin'

I laugh and joke with new customers when they say "Turn left after the Dunkin Donuts." There's a Dunkin Donuts in the directions to just about anywhere in the northeast!

We got a water filter for the kitchen sink tap for Christmas. I never knew how bad my coffee had tasted until after that. I learned then that it has as much to do with the water as anything.

Yeah, if they're using unfiltered tap water that tastes bad in the first place, then give you weak coffee that isn't strong enough to knock THAT taste out?

Hey, Jim. The Dunkin Donuts across the street from the Pilot at exit 40 is one I frequent. Should be in your backyard, practically. That or I'm driving around behind them so I can go into the Cracker Barrel and listen to northerners ask "Can I get wheat toast instead of biscuits with that?"

You mean you gave up CT for Wegmans?

BTW, the French have been the second largest force in Afghanistan, after us. They weren't with us on Iraq, but they've been good friends in Afghanistan.

My wife and I travelled to Paris for my birthday late last Novemebr - I've not travelled a lot but, the folks I met couldn't be nicer - I'm so glad they're coming around on the political front

Of course, given the amount of armor he provided them and the number of troops he originally sent into Iraq (before the surge), I not convinced Bush was all that great a supporter of our troops in Iraq either. it took firing Rumsfeld and appointing Yates to start to get that effort right-too bad he listened to Rumsfeld (civilian) as opposed to Shinseki (Army General) in terms of the number of troops he sent to Iraq.
True dat
And speaking of supporting our troops, a very big round of applause for Hillary Will for going overseas to visit our fighting guys and gals

GREAT FOR HER - A great thing to do during the break!
Back on Topic: Actually, I thought Hilary might get the DD sponsorship. Her early Blog entries were full of her love for the coffee and the (proxy) Wawa stuff.
