McDonald's cooks up a new campaign to help flagging sales!

Starting this April, in a nationwide campaign to spur sales, McDonald’s will be offering soft drinks of any size for just $1. And for a limited time, the restaurants’ McCafe beverages, which include frappes, smoothies, and espresso drinks, will be available for just $2.

The fast-food giant has yet to issue a press release about the promotion, but Business Insider reports that the company’s 2016 sales — which dropped 2.1 percent over the previous year — may have spurred the move. Who would have thought that the Golden Arches would ever be in trouble??

Freezer Burn Bill! DanO Burger's poor cousin!

Note: This was not what I was going to get to eat this day!

 It was a very dark time in my life... No wait! It was actually still dark outside when I got up. Honestly, it was more of a hungry time in my life, as I was on a diet from hell. And, while the weight loss results had been rather mixed, I have managed to march forward even to the point of enjoying a good old fashioned DanO Burger! Well, it was sort of like that...

On this Valentines Day, on an otherwise nondescript February in 2017, I decided to assemble a more rudimentary burger wannabe thing, thereby foregoing all the razzle dazzle that was in my more infamous creation. (Eating a hamburger that was to be under 400 calories takes a little bit of planning don't you know). Firstly, I had to forget about having a side dish. Secondly, I also went on the light side in terms of condiments, especially where it concerned the use of Mayo! So, this was a rather plain Jane affair consisting of; a bun, 150 gram hamburger patty, a slice of lettuce, sliced cherry tomatoes and some mustard and ketchup. Can you say boring? I could hardly wait to sit down to that affair, let me tell you!

Meet Freezer Burn Bill!

To add insult to injury, I didn't have any fresh buns on which to mount my burger! My only option was an old frozen bun that I had stuck into my freezer back in '68 or thereabouts. (I never knew you could 'freezer burn' a bun)! Anyway, that's what I had and that's what I was going to eat! I took a picture of it at right. In spite of it rather plain looks, the burger was one of my better efforts in the taste department!

Carr case sent to Mo supreme court!

Forsyth MO. – In the case of Tristan Carr, not much could be gleamed by this blogger as to his coming trial other than the fact that this case was sent to the Supreme Court on February 1, after judge William recused [Note: Recusal is when a judge voluntarily chooses not to hear a case. Judges may recuse themselves in both criminal cases and civil cases like personal injury claims. ] himself due to 'earlier disqualifications'.
