Shock the Monkey.

A couple of weeks ago, a new McDonalds opened near the house. I am not going to lie and say that I haven't been because I have. It was one of those nights when I was working late. I got the Quarter Pounder combo and found myself mixing baking soda and water together about a hour later. BLEH!

This particular McDonalds is on the left side of the highway, at an intersection with a traffic signal. There is not a left turn lane. There is not even a left turn signal. In fact, there is a big sign with a left turn arrow with a fft thing over it, so even the iliterate can figure out NOT TO TURN LEFT HERE!

What happens today? Guess. Several cars including myself have to come to a screaming halt from a velocity of 60 mph for some junk food jerk off trying to make a left hand turn to enter Mc Donalds. I was returning from my father's house where I fetched my train case and said luggage almost knocked me out from flying across the car. Then I was coming come from an interfaith meeting a couple of hours later, and what's happening? Another idiot is trying to make a left hand turn into Mc Donalds. I swear, unobservant dumbasses like those are going to kill somebody one day.

There are no empty calories worth causing fatilies over, people!

I will not speak all negatively about the Mc Donalds, however. It does have very nice landscaping with a couple of water features. There is a fountain in the front and a pleasant waterfall in the rear for viewing while waiting at one of the two squawk boxes for your order to be taken. I would be lying if I did not say that this almost looks like a mini-putt Mc Donalds. You know something? I really would not be surprised if it was. Hmm, now that I think about it, that would be a paradise for stoners. Soooo, that might explain all those careless drivers.
