The only downside, once again, was the sneeze shield over the salad bar.  I&#8217;m 6 foot tall and my shoulders are fairly high off the ground as a result.  The sneeze is set much lower than that to protect the food, which is fine, except that to reach the items in the back, I need to hunker down to almost comical levels.  I got what I wanted, but it was more of an adventure than I needed.  I&#8217;m not sure what the solution is though, a raised shield would let short people sneeze on the food.  And that would not be good.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking, for some reason, that the idea of state laws is a little comical.  Given the proximity of states to each other and the relative homogeneity of Americans &#8211; or for that matter, human beings &#8211; having different sets of rules for people that might live only a few feet from each other seems really odd.  There&#8217;s nothing to be done about it &#8211; I mean, we&#8217;ve got people that are so state-centric that they would consider leaving the US, so me with my complete lack of state identity is likely to be ignored.  But it still seems weird to me.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I picked up the Batman Lego game last night.   It plays pretty much like the Star Wars and Indiana Jones versions, but it&#8217;s pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now&#8230; later&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-1975699245150314149?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner last night and had an excellent meal.
