Agreed. I started going to NYC right before the great clean-up started. I miss some of the old stuff.

Hardees does a very solid breakfast with no muffins. 

Now I have to go watch Rushmore while having a grilled cheese. Dammit! Quit reminding me of random stuff. At least it got Marty Robbins out of my head.

Thank you so much for putting this in my head for the next couple of hours:

My mom does this with artificial sweetener but she has a hierarchy. If there is stevia that get’s used in her coffee and all of the rest at the table goes in the purse.

I took part in a fresh fruit/artificial flavor comparison in college and nothing tastes like the real thing except maybe orange.

Japanese Sage Derby?

Change the horse to a cow and welcome to a regular sight in Wisconsin.
