Large McD's iced coffee with the ice removed. Strong, tasty, reasonably priced, and plenty of it. Just the thing for a 3-hr. road trip (along with some great '80s pop tunes on the stereo).
P.S. Just realized that at this time, only 1 week ago, I'm pretty sure I was awakening from a chemically-induced 1-1!2 hr. sleep, during which my midsection was sliced open and repaired by a highly-skilled human manipulating a 7-foot-tall, 4-armed knife-wielding robot. But that...that can't be right, can it ??

One of these, then?
As long as there’s a human operator on the other end, I’d almost be inclined to feel confident, but the thought of fully autonomous DaVinci scares the bejesus out of me.
“How’d it go, doc?”
“ Well, Mrs B, up to the software glitch just peachy - but don’t worry, we’re also equipped with a 3D compostable casket printer. Is it too soon to look at the catalog?”

Yup, very similar. As I was escorted into the room, I was immediately drawn to this huge, fascinating thing. I must've turned slightly toward it or something, because someone kindly-but-firmly admonished, "Please don't touch the robot!"
What a perfect meme, I thought: "Welcome to the 21st Century - please don't touch the robots."

Funny our Costco had 6 bottles of 2012 Chateau Petrus at $3500 @ for weeks and one day they were gone. I asked the clerk if they sent them to another market, he said no some took all six and paid cash.
Around this area, money laundering is huge. People buy cars with cash from drug money or other illicit activities. One of the biggest cleaning stations is a casino. I was wondering if they had a little left over after a night of gambling.
Oh, coffee and homemade lemon soda for me this morn.

In addition to French wines, a good idea to listen to music under Mauro Spain Rioja (from $ 25 per bottle) is just super. There are Tenerife wines such as Marba, Frontos, Flor de Chasna. Here prices from 10 euros per bottle, and the quality is global. Madness to pay 3500 dollars per bottle, but you want to try - what is there, for what sap money? And who can buy and drink
Tried to order another black iced coffee from the McD's at the other end of my trip (for the trip home) last night, but man it was terrible - I think they just threw ice in some regular coffee. The local places seem to know what I'm talking about almost every time, but there must not be many out there ordering it this way, because in other areas it's usually a crap shoot.
