That's no good Wayne, even with an Ethernet cable it's still a land. Old school. We have wireless technology today, they call them cell phones.

You go to a Chinese restaurant, like I did in Boston some years ago, as well as in NYC , and you always see plenty (a majority , I'd assert) of Chinese patrons.

If it's any good, yes. If not, it's empty. Round here there was a great Chinese restaurant that we liked for Sunday Dim Sum and you stood in line to get in and the parking lot was always full. And then, one day it was empty....... We never found out what happened but overnight the entire community walked away.

I think that's a really good point - if the Chinese community likes the food, it must be good, or at least fresh.

I used to use (maybe I still do) something similar to that as a measure of pizza shops, when I traveled to a community unknown to me. My theory was that if a horde of teenagers went there, or if a gaggle of senior citizens could be seen patronizing a particular pizza parlor, then it must be fresh and tasty pizza. Just a theory, one that worked 100o/I of the time for me.

........if a horde of teenagers went there, or if a gaggle of senior citizens could be seen patronizing a particular pizza parlor, then it must be fresh and tasty pizza.

Or incredibly cheap,

Think college town pizza place.........

I had a feeling somebody was going to make that point, and somehow knew it would be you (or the Wayne).

I , on the other hand, can discern if a pizza is cheap by the fragrance/odor emanating from or filling the inside of the place. The schnozzle knows, from years of discernment. Also, I take notice if the pizza twirler appears to have washed his hands and doesn't touch his nose while twirling or ever -wise.

So did you not frequent the "more affordable and budget conscious" eateries while in college?

Naw, I had my standards, ya know, and always went for quality in pizza, no matter the price. I had an on-camos part-time job serving table at one of the sororities, so I had the cash available.

Serious procrastination although I actually have gotten a bit of real work done spending your tax dollars willy-nilly over totally frivolous items and supplies designed to further the much needed research into the sex life of a newt.

You were lucky. I did not have any time until I was senior when I worked for the Chem Dept as a lab assist.; by that time I was also cooking my own meals back in the senior dorm.

And have you found the newts to be a happy little group? And I've always wondered, is it true they have tiny little shoes on? (Now who's the bad clown?)

I'm going to leave this subject to Rufus and Murph.

As it turns out they were all just local villagers that had been turned into newts by a witch.........who we are now studying to see how long she doesn't float.

Shoes, now greatly expanded and wooden, are being used to house immigrants from CA who are moving from the state having heard that folks want them to fall into the ocean and die when the next earthquake arrives. Being wooden, they also float, albeit something of a fire hazard.....
