Be right back, buying this Minolta Hi-Matic off eBay in case I ever find myself in low Earth orbit.

Dunkin' Donuts may be an inexplicable New England shibboloth, but I've got horror stories about visiting my parents in MA and seeing that the only coffee available was "Dunkin' Original" pods for their Keurig machine.

We went there the night I proposed to my now wife.

I am sure the food was great, but can’t remember the details. Just that the kitchen sent out snacks and champagne and the waitstaff thanked me for not proposing during dinner.
