LOL I made a typo that my spell checker caught and hit Replace a split second
before realizing it was recommending bettor instead of better. If I had made

am just old fashioned enough that I prefer restaurants that are proud of their
food because it is so good rather than their claim to fame being that every
burger is the same.

go to the golden arches instead of to them.
