This is so true down here. I am comfortable doing 80-82 mph and get passed all the time.

Personally, when I go up to do my Apopka shows, it is a madhouse everywhere trying to get something to eat after the show ends at 8pm. It is much worse now than it was a year ago.

Are fast food places open inside? Every time I pass one, the drive thru line is a mile long. Seems people got used to (and lazy) waiting in line.

The reason I am up so early is that my eye doctor woke me up this morning. He called to say that he thinks my blind spot may be glaucoma. He is referring me to someone else and will be in touch.

I don't know much about glaucoma so I need to do some research on it. <- doing research

Some are not due to the lack of staffing. This is true at all times of day.

The other day I looked down and was doing 57 in a 35. The fastest I've ever gone was 98 in a Mini Cooper. I really haven't opened my new car up yet, it says it will do 160.

They theory is (and used to be pre-COVID) that the food was prioritized to drive thru orders first and that each fast food restaurant times those orders. I just believe all customer service sucks now and no one cares.

My grandmother had glaucoma. The nerve connecting the eye to the brain is damaged.

In reading a couple of the usual sites, it appears I caught it relatively early. I don't even notice it unless I am reading. Getting older sux!

Why not just pack a salad in the morning?

You’re going to tell me you’d rather wait in line for an hour for horrible food then take five minutes in the morning to throw a healthy lunch together?
