Some years ago I was visiting San Diego. One night I had a hankering for a foot long ham and cheese sandwich from Subway. So I got in my car (along with my miniature dachshund who spent the entire journey across America riding in my lap) and asked my iPhone "hey Siri, where is Subway?"

Siri returned four or five locations. Including one that had four stars. Something I never heard of a fast food joint having before. I thought "good deal!" So that's where I headed off too.

Well, what I couldn't have known was that the four-star Subway was on the grounds of the U.S. Navy hospital. I got to the front gate, saw that this isn't where I needed to be and started turning around.

IMMEDIATELY armed shore patrol guards came running out of nowhere and surrounded my car. One of them knocked on my window and I rolled it down. He told me that there's no turnaround like I had attempted to do. I meekly told him that I was just trying to get to the Subway that my phone had given me directions to. He demanded my driver's license and walked away and for the next ten minutes I was just sitting there in my Camry.

The guard finally came back and gave me my license and sternly directed me to leave. I guess a guy three thousand miles from North Carolina with a dachshund in his lap wasn't deemed much of a threat to security LOL

I spent a lot of time in the Pentagon - one could be born there, live a long life, and never leave.

yeah ... they’re not going hungry in there (tho a nutritional health survey may be in order with all that junque food)

the only thing that appears to be missing from that list seems to be a good pizza parlor -—?

which explains the articles (spanning several years) that pizza deliveries are a national security issue

Most of the Pentagon restaurants serve junk food. My dad had a chain of restauirants from NY to San Francisco. In business districts, they served breakfast and lunch, always crowded then, and dinner to a few people staying late at the office. Chicken Pot Pie was a fave.

His SF manager called him to come see this interesting new place in NoCal. Dad went and made an offer to buy the place, but they refused.

And that’s why I’m not a McDonald’s billionaire. Actually, I don’tlike McDonald’s food. Not great quality. Dad always had best quality everything. His advice:
“Buy the best food you can afford and do as little as possible to it.”

sure is keeping me healthy all these 90 years.
