When I was high school, 60+ years ago, we had Knight's Diner, a refurbished railroad car, with the best hamburgers in town for $1.25. We couldn't afford to go often, but once in a while we splurged and enjoyed the nice fat, juicy, well endowed hamburger. 
Frank's Diner is in the same location and makes the very best fried cod in town!  Nice and greasy, loaded with batter that turns into a crisp coat when deep fried. Couple of times a year, maybe, and it is well worth the splurge. 

Years ago the infrequent visits were because of money, now it is because of high fat, carbohydrates, and salt. 

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Thanks for the link Joan!  Yes, the government should include everyone or get out of the game.  On a different note, I still do not understand why churches are not taxed.  I know separation of church and state, but then why do churches have so much to do with government functions such as elections?  Churches should either get out of government or pay taxes.

booklover, I can easily see how memes work to put a suggestion in a mind, so by focusing on negative, our mind thinks of the negative. If that is true, then by focusing on a positive, or silly, or ridiculous meme would that act as a seed of thought? 

For example, if we had memes of NOMs that poked fun or ridiculed those who oppose same sex marriages, i.e. National Organization for Marriage, would that help or hurt? 

"Religions have every right to exclude whom they want to exclude, but it’s the state and federal governments which should either not be in the marriage game at all or allow every citizen to participate.

I agree Sk8eycat, the food is revolting, but I do get a snicker with watching Guy Fieri.

Joan, cat on Mars. lol  Sk8ey, wish you lived by me and I could hire you to cat-sit (and one old Labradork sit;).  See you here when you return!

NOM, seriously?  And right Joan?  WHY would anyone possibly care if any adults want to marry each other?  WHY can't they mind their own business!!!!

National Organization for Marriage (NOM) 

What is that all really about? Why do they obsess about such a matter? 

Who cares who marries whom?

Hmmm...I don't know.  I've seen diners all over the US that were made out of old railroad cars, but the wheels and undercarriage and other mechanical stuff had been removed.  That was also a long, long time ago; I don't know if those old diners still exist.  (I do watch "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" when I get a chance, but that's more about the food than the "architecture."  And the food is often revolting. To me.)

Never give up on your dream. via sk8eycat 
Perfect! Now if the rhino had a photo of a healthy heart and lungs, and strong bones and toned muscles, that would be the better image to dream! I don't want to live the rest of my life as something other than I, but I surely do want to be healthy.

Never thought of that before, but one of those businesses probably will be the first on mars, and all 4 will be in the top 10, but I don't frequent any of them.

Oops, is that thing that looks like a railroad car a business?
