They make just about everything. If you can think of it, I'm sure it's out there

There was a good story on NPR over the weekend about "3PL" companies or "third party logistics" companies that fulfill orders for Amazon and other online stores, sometimes delivered as quickly as a few hours after you place the order. They operate huge warehouses with runners who get orders, pull items off of shelves, and place them on conveyor belts.

The biggest sellers?

iPad accessories...and dildos. That's what America is buying online.

If you can invent a dildo for your iPad, you'd be rich.

I tried Five Guys fries and they are extremely soggy and disgusting.

Now In & Out you can watch the fries being made as seen below, the video doesn't show taking the fries to the deep fat fryer, but the finish product looks like the pic below.

or you can always order off the secret menu and upgrade your fries to animal fries.

They can all suck it. The Dairy Queen Flame Kickin' Hungerbuster has them all beat. It's only available at a few DQs in Texas.

On Mother's Day, we went to Tookies. I had the Piggy Back, which is the double meat Squealer. The Squealer patties have bacon mixed into them. But I got it with the fixings from an Ice House Stomp, grilled onions, jalapeños and picante sauce. Also some cheese. That was good.

I'd like to try In-n-Out some day. 5 Guys is good if you get the right toppings. The fries were soggy when they opened here, then they got better, now they are too soggy again.

DQ has tater tots. They are perfectly fried every time. And the staff there knows my order by heart. They start making it as soon as the see my car coming up the drive way.

Now if you ever get a chance to come to the west coast, you gotta try In & Out. They are slowly expanding into other states, but hell they are not like the other fast food chains franchise they are all owned by one family.

I thought you bike ride mostly around Texas and surely would have tried In & Out by now? Here are all of there Texas locations.

I see they are mostly in San Antonio along I-35 and goes into Dallas/Fort Worth area, I'm surprise they haven't pop up into Houston yet.

The closest is 137 miles from me. That's a 270 mile bike ride for a burger.
