Buy my bread and cold cuts at one, then go to the other larger one for whatever else I want to buy.
Many times, I could get my number for the deli at the larger store and do all my shopping before my number was called.
They are both close, so not a lot of extra time to split things between them.

SPOILER ALERT!I have to check to see if that ending is true...the 3 cars finishing and if he crashed in the end.

It includes some history and future info, so at around 15 minutes in length, probably too long for driver100.

Been getting one for years now, don't like to eat a big breakfast but need something with the meds I take. And it really is just enough to eat.

This machine kept giving my quarter back and I kept putting it back in. I then noticed it was giving me credit for the quarters too. After the total owed went to zero I called the attendant over, explained to him what was going on, and handed him the correct amount. He couldn't seem to understand and after explaing it to him twice, I just left.

I did notice the ones at Canadian Tire still took cash a few months ago at least, as I was next to a young lady buying something and she kept feeding $20 bills into it like a machine at the casino until it finally spit out a bunch of change and a receipt.

Hope everyone enjoys dinner out or whatever with your significant other!
I'm meeting my wife in the city (she works in Philly) and we are going out to dinner. I am heading over early and checking us into a hotel which she doesn't know about. Have Mom all lined up with the kids.
Luckily for me she mentioned what she was wearing to a kid's birthday party on Sat so I can pack for her! Scored a Priceline last minute deal for $109. Can't beat that for a 4 star on Valentine's day in Center City Philly!

I met the team and we all hit it off (I had met one of them at a show a few years back but she didn't remember). Once they explained the job we all looked at each other like "why is he here". It was for a WHS position inventorying fixtures and preparing for shipment. Someone had their signals crossed.
They asked if I was relocatable to Dallas, which I'm not. So it turned to field work. They don't have anything right now but are keeping me in mind.
Just a weird thing all the way around, but it can't hurt to have as much interview experience as possible.

For the most part the movie was pretty accurate, SPOILER ALERT, the 3 cars finishing together is true, and Ken Miles did die in a car accident shortly after Le Mans, and Miles was scammed out of winning.
What is not true in Ford vs Ferrari

I had an interview a couple months ago that would have been a great fit, but it was up by NYC (in Westchester). way too far to commute, and not someplace I could relo to (due to cost). But, recruiter said they were willing to consider a WFH now since I was close enough to day trip when needed. But, it involved managing a team, and even though the interview went well and the fit was great, they decided that they really did want someone in the office. But, it gave me a chance to dust off the resume and talk about myself, never a bad thing.
plus, always the chance that an individual contributor spot comes up at some point that can be remote, and they remember me.

The top 5 makes were Ferrari, Mercedes (G, SLS, Maybach, etc.), Bugatti, Bentley (Continental,Mulsante) and Land Rover.
Ferrari and Mercedes were driven by 50% of the 100 listed. Of course the average retail price of the 100 vehicles was 1.75 million dollars with Ferrari the most popular by far. Bugatti's were third with 15 super stars driving them.

Never hurts to listen. Plus, they were only about an hour north of me.
Sat down at the interview. HR was in the first meeting, briefing me on who I'd be meeting with. It was a panel of people I would be interfacing with regularly, with the lead interviewer being the Director of the dept.
All was going well. Small talk was cordial and we all "spoke the same language" of defense acronyms. Lead interviewer comes in late started asking me questions, none of them related to Business Development. I answered them but thought the questions to be odd.
Finally, I asked the interviewer what exactly he had in mind for the position. He said it was for a Regional Service Manger. Yeah, I can service them, and I was already in a management position at the time. But, it would be a terrible waste of my talents, and the salary I was asking, they could have hired someone a whole lot cheaper.
Interviewer looked at HR and asked them what they thought about the position they were screening for.
All-in-all, I was stuck in the middle of a very awkward situation. We smiled, shook hands with me telling them I could recommend someone better suited to the job. But, I never heard from the recruiter, again. I see the lead interviewer from time-to-time at trade shows. We always relay the story, laugh and move on.
I thought they were making them look a little too fast through Mulsanne corner, and it was also interesting that when Miles was going over the track layout, he mentioned every corner by name EXCEPT Indianapolis.
And Miles wasn't actually listening to the 1965 race in Shelby's shop at LAX... he was racing a GT40. DNF.
Sorry about that...doesn't seem to work these days.

At least they seem to be moving the process along. It seems the hiring process here, at large firms anyway, is really slow right now. Yesterday I heard that an old co-worker who just started with a large tech/commerce group here interviewed in November, and just started 2 weeks ago.
She drove home....car wouldn't start for her this morning. Took Uber to a doctors appointment. Called AAA, they came, boosted her car to start it. She drove it to Mercedes dealer.
Here is the lesson to be learned:
This is what the service advisor theorizes; The trickle charger probably doesn't keep the batteries power topped up, it allows just enough of a charge to keep all the instruments and settings working. Will probably start the car, but, under extreme conditions like this....very cold, the battery won't be kept charged very much.
She is going out of town this afternoon, hoping the driving will keep the battery charged enough.

I know the rule would have covered a photo finish... just give it to the one that started farther back. What we still don't know is if, say, Miles had led a flying wedge across (think Miles in front, with the 2 and the 5 side by side behind him), who would have won?
And my other point was they did not end up in the dead heat portrayed in the film. McLaren clearly moved ahead in the last few seconds. Whether it was his own acceleration, or Miles backed off because he was pissed off. Actually the former seems more plausible because of how far back the privateer #5 was.

[SPOILER ALERT] Is the finish of the race at the end of Ford v Ferrari based on the true story?
Yes. Video and photos exist of the three Ford race cars finishing together at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. It's true that Ken Miles had been minutes ahead of the other cars, but due to self-serving instructions from Ford, combined with a technicality, Miles was given second place instead of first. Ford management had indeed instructed him to slow down so that all three of their cars could cross the finish line together. Miles wasn't as outraged over the idea as he is in the movie. In an effort to please the company he worked for, he let off the gas. It is believed that despite team orders, Bruce McLaren accelerated just ahead of Miles at the last moment in an attempt to finish in the top spot (in the film, all three cars cross at the same time).
Even if Ken Miles had been slightly ahead or tied with McLaren when the race ended, the fact that he obeyed orders from Ford and slowed down is what cost him the win. This is because race officials ruled that since Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon started the race further back, they therefore covered a greater distance in the same time. The bungled photo finish resulted in Ken Miles being denied the coveted chance of winning Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans all in the same year. Unlike in the movie, Carroll Shelby admitted to being involved in ordering the three Ford cars to cross together, a decision he regretted for the rest of his life because of what it cost Ken Miles
