So when is McDonald's going to figure out that I can push the "Big Mac" button myself?

MacDonald's corporate headquarters has a test kiosk made to order for you. It works like an ATM, but the output is burgers and fries. Touch screen entries. The only maintenance is to keep fresh supplies of ingredients in the machine. Those burger slinging jobs are about to be automated as well.

I just hired a guy to remove one of my cottonwood trees. It is 60 feet tall and almost 40 feet across at the crown. He quoted me $750. He put in 4 hours this evening and removed about 15% of the tree. I'm having it cut into firewood. It was blocking my DishNet view AND posing a threat to my house. There is a job that won't get outsourced. The guy has all the work he can tolerate. As a bonus, I'm getting firewood from two of his other jobs. That saves him the drive and fee at the dump. I still have nearly all of last year's firewood because of the very mild winter. I'm going to take my digital camera out and photograph the job as he works through the tree. That will go on a CDROM so the guy can make a new work portfolio to demonstrate his capability.
