Link to the menu would have helped:

miles every Saturday just to go to the library and back)....r

And a new sign recently appeared near the local school:
STATE LAW
NOISE LIMIT
90 DECIBLES
There have been similar signs near the local mall for some years.
The content is equally silly, but at least they're spelled correctly.

Just looked at the menu, and found tartar sauce available. Is that the same
as the tartare sauce we have over here?

It was called "Mongol sauce" until the Khans sued for trademark
infringement.

I spend almost as much time figuring out what's wrong with my computer
as I do actually using it. Networked software, especially, requires
frequent updates and maintenance, all of which gets in the way of
doing routine work. (Stoll 1995)

That reminds me of the one I mentioned here in 2000, which appeared
on CN or VIA Rail passenger trains (whichever it was that year) for
a while in the mid-1970s. Previously the trains had been divided
into "smoking" and "cigarettes only" sections; now they had replaced
one of these with non-smoking sections. With signs that read:
No smoking regulations are strictly enforced

I'm just back from a family gathering, where on Thursday I told them
about the sign. On Friday, one of the quoted it as "No trespassers
will be violated." I thought that was an even more important
reassurance.
