Domino's pizza de....livvvv....ers

What a world, what a day...What an age we live in. You pick up a hand held radio transmitter, punch some buttons, and half an hour later, piping hot pizza arrives at your door. What more could anyone ask for. Well, I suppose it there was a number you could call to have money delivered, that would be better. Until then, however, I'm gonna love my pizza.

I was asked a question in my comments today that, had I answered in comments, would have been sort of an answer lite. A quasi-answer. So, for Murphy here's a little rant on what it's like in Carson City.

The roaring metropolis of Carson City, Nevada (population 52,457ish) is situated right near the 'bend' in the state. We're about 30 miles from Reno, and about the same from Lake Tahoe. Snuggled right up at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, we boast....well...not much.

Our climate is very dry. It's a mountain desert. We bake all summer (had a few days over 100 this summer many in the 90's), and freeze all winter. The low I saw last winter (yes, I was walking then, too) was a balmy 13. That's Farenheit people, not Celcius. That was a brisk morning, let me tell you.

I moved here when I was 11, and moved out for the first time when I was 18. At that age, this was one of the most boring places I'd ever been. There was virtually nothing to do here. Well, we did have 3 movie theaters, and we still do have like every fast food restaurant known to man.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I think Carson City may have the highest per capita fast food saturation of any city in the U. S. I'll try and remember them all, but I'm sure I'll miss one or two.

We have:

3 Mc Donalds...down from 4 when Wal-Mart moved over the county line.
2 Jack in the Boxes.
2 Wendy's.
2 Taco Bells. Down from a record 3.
2 Burger Kings.
1 Kentucky Fried Chicken. That KFC shit pisses me off. Fried, it's fried.
1 Arbys.
1 Dairy Queen.
1 Der Weinerschnitzel.
1 Carl's Junior.
1 A&W. We had 3 at one point.
1 Jimboy's Tacos.
Oh..and we're getting an In and Out Burger. YAY us!!!

I think that's it. That's not even mentioning the sub shops or pizza joints.

So, as a kid growing up here there was usually only 3 things to do. Movies, fast food, and party. Usually, we did all 3. Now, as an adult, I don't find Carson City to be as bad. Heh. Fridays are even quite fun now. I get to cash my check in the casino, play for a while on their free money, and drink free beer.

It's a pretty good start to the weekend. There's still not too much to do, though. They did put a Skatepark in, and I nearly soiled myself. I couldn't believe they loosened the straight laces enough to do that.

Whew. Well, that's a start. I didn't realize I had so much to say about CC. I guess I'll have to finish in another post.

Later,
