^^^^^^^ this could be a challenge at the restaurant, if you are 20 and under and know what it means you're meal is free. I don't think they would lose much.

Need to station a gal standing on that track with an orange vest holding a STOP sign.

See, now you’ve touched on a sore spot with me. This should probably be posted to the ‘Things I hate’ thread but I’ll put it here anyway.
I worked for for years in the construction industry as a project controller. As such, I was relegated to the ‘management’ side of the perennial labor/management battle. One of the things that the labor side did that I agreed with was the practice of the Contruction Laborers Union traditionally reserving the job of flagman for the old timers - laborers usually in their mid- to late-sixties who were just hanging in there waiting for retirement. Those guys had earned a little ‘soft duty’ time as flagmen or janitors.
Then, along comes ‘equal rights’ and a large number of women decided they would join the laborers union because the wages were better than what they were used to. So, how’d this shake out? Well, nowadays virtually every flagman you see on a construction project is a female who’s taking the place of some old guy who is entitled to some easy duty. But how many women laborers do you see in a ditch with a shovel in their hand?
I've seen this pic before. It's been going around for a few years now. Funny huh? Stupid firemen. Yeah? Well, yesterday, when I saw it again on here, I started trying to imagine a logical explanation for this apparent display of stupidity. My first instinct was that it was intended as a joke from the beginning. Or that they the firemen already used up all their traffic cones and used the ramps to alert trains (because there is probably reflective tape on the ramps) without expectation of protection for the hose from the train.
This is yet another case of "go with your first instinct". A simple google search today told me very quickly that the photo was staged by the firemen as a joke to begin with. The photo has been passed around with various captions.
Because of this photo, stupid people who think they are smarter than firemen, vastly outnumber ALL firemen.
If I'm eating Taco Bell, it BETTER be cheap. Your typical Mexican restaurant is a much better value but they don't stay open like TB. Wish someone would open near me, a nice little Mexican restaurant and name it Toda La Noche. (All Night)

We have 2 really good Mexican restaurants close by. There is no comparison to be made with the bland and boring TB products. Their food is actually good, and if look close enough you can find a lot of offerings that are not Americanized. The only bad thing is there is no bar in either one.
