    QR codes

    If we each do it in the case of separate checks, sometimes the food arrives at totally different times. I hate it. At the place I am thinking of, I have to get my own water, plastic silverware, napkins, etc. The switch away from real glasses, plates and silverware is not good for the environment.

    What is your Pet Peeve

    My most recent pet peeve is people who don't drive the speed limit. Douglas is a good example. Speed limit is 45. The number of people who drive 25 or 35 drives me up a tree.

    Huggins might be in trouble, DUI is good, Bees are bad

    I have no problem with drinking while tailgating, as long as it's responsible drinking. And a whole game does give the alcohol a chance to wear off. Unless you're in the south endzone contuing to drink 3/4 of the game. That's never seemed safe to me.
