GRRRR….

So, the QC isn’t getting the first Starbucks in Pinal County.

Well, okay, that’s fine, I guess. But man, if I had a little dough, this is the place to open something, anything.

We have the highest 2 grossing Subway’s in the state. A new Pizza Hut opening required sheriff’s officers to direct traffic in the parking lot. Not to mention the Pizza Hut had to rent a freezer-semi for their supplies, because their walk-in freezer couldn’t hold enough to make the pizza’s.

AND THAT’S A STUPID PIZZA HUT!

If Starbucks were to franchise, which, of course, they don’t, I’m sure one here would do incredibly well. Of course, the wife is hoping for a Taco Bell.

Wow…

This is the exact time of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, and this is the 100th year anniversary.

Having lived in San Francisco, (well, okay, actually San Bruno, but close) and having ‘lived’ through a few earthquakes of the minor variety, I can’t image what that must have been like.

I remember in grade school we not only had a ‘fire alarm’, but we also had an ‘earthquake alarm’, and we were to huddle under out desks, facing inward. I’m not sure exactly what type of protection that would have provided, but oh well.

Oh, and our school didn’t have any windows. Yeah.. Glass damage, and what not.
