I haven't read the whole thread, as it has mold around the edges from age, but Didn't McDonald's put in free WI FI in a lot of their outlets?
I'll bet that didn't work out very well for them.

They run this state, and we're helpless against the onslaught. They simply have too much money to be marginalized in Arizona.

I've been here my whole life, so I'm accustomed to it.

I don't see them much in Wendy's around here. Their prices aren't cheap enough compared to McDonald's and Carl's Jr.

Speaking of "Blue Hairs" here in Sedona, AZ there are 7 million people who go to the Grand Canyon every year. They all stop in Sedona on their way there and on their way back.
There's only a two lane road coming into town. One lane, each way.
I can't tell you how many times there was a three mile conga line of cars behind what we call "A Blue Haired Crawler". Doing 22 in a 45 mile zone.

I asked an old lady who regularly drives the route with her husband, "Why do you drive so slow and are you even aware of all the POed people behind you"?
She said, and this is the truth, "Yes, we know you're behind us and frankly we don't give a damn. We have nowhere to go, it doesn't matter what time we get there and we have nothing else to do." We do it purposely. I tell my husband to slow down or the people behind us will think we're 25 years old or something."

True story.

Yeah, but truthfully, Sedona would have that problem regardless. As beautiful as it is, I just don't know how folks can live there full time. The in town traffic is horrendous. My wife and I stopped staying there and we now opt for a hotel in Cottonwood instead.

Granted, once you're in town, you can walk just about everywhere you need to go.

Very True. I live in Cottonwood and keep my office at Enchantment Resort in Sedona. I recommend that everyone coming to Sedona, get a place in Cottonwood, instead of Sedona. It's only 20 minutes using 89a.

Terrible.

You're taking away the kid's last tool for shocking their parents and grandparents.
