There's an old joke that goes "call an ambulance, call the police, and
order a pizza--see which comes first". Looks like this time the pizza
was there before the call.

Well done Dominos--give that lady a raise.

Seeing the video of her on the stretcher coming out of her house, I'd
say she was certainly pretty much normal-sized....no huge obesity
showing.

She had a large pizza every day - I bet she ate some of it for lunch,
and some of it for dinner.

Unless it was file footage, the video accompanying the story today did not
suggest a very large person. According to the pizza delivery driver who went
to check on her, she was very reclusive, and ordered a pizza every day. It
sounded as if the two regular drivers who delivered to her constituted a
major part of the the sick woman's social interaction.

Since it was 3 days, her neighbors either didn't think anything of her
not leaving, or didn't care, or who knows. It was still nice that at
least someone missed her and was hip to her habits.

My local burg doesn't even have one. Right after a Subway snuck in,
the town council apparently slammed close the books. Fast-food chains
not allowed! OTOH, the most popular and heavily patronized drive-in
(on the main hwy drag) gets away with serving the worst burger ever
for $3.50. Win some, lose some.

even without saying anything, an emergency response can be dispatched.

McDonalds made their fortune through great planning. The thing I
remember most traveling around the country (yes, I was a traveling
hippie) was placement. No matter where you went, the McDonalds always
had the best corner, with the best access compared to any other chain.
This was pretty much universal as they usually hit the town first. Funny
how things go though. The one down the street (one I grew up with) had
the great access for decades but now with the stimulus bill and
everybody scattering to spend it before it got taken back, the town
wasted a bunch of money on islands, lights, and bushes in the middle of
the road directing traffic right by the place, already you can see the
customer base dwindling with the Burger king, KFC, Tacobell, with much
less annoying entrances and exits/accessability within a few hundred
yards. Oh and a gas station already closed as all of the traffic is now
directed to the one across the street... It's all about placement.
People are too lazy to make the u-turn and left across traffic to get to
these places now. Either way, I often wonder if this one is gonna' make
it.

My own mom has a balance problem and bad knees and now that's she's
alone (dad died a year and a half ago) us kids bought her a home
security system and I insisted on one of those pendants that you push
that calls 911 if you're in trouble. We got her in the habit of keeping
her cell phone in her pocket but a button to push without having to talk
is better. We had a talk recently about it and I'm glad we did. She
thought the pendant would work everywhere, but it's wirelessly connected
to the home security system, so now she knows it won't work from a
certain distance from home.
