Pat we have on campus places to eat but most of them close when my shift is coming on. And during the summer all of the on campus places to eat are closed until the start of the school year.

We used to do that. Then some idiot, in management, decided that, being a grill is a fire hazard, we can no longer do that onsite. Some people need to get real jobs.

Ug! This is getting ridiculous. I still have my 97 F-150, but she is getting a little long in the tooth (191,000 miles), and my wife was just mentioning today, that maybe I should get something with a little better gas mileage, since I drive about 58 miles round trip to work.
