Niiice, Miguel! You know, I have never had an In-N-Out burger. Are they really as great as everybody says they are?

In N Out is great. It's not THE best burger in the world, its the best mass produced burger in the world.

5 Guys is great (mentioned in the article). It really depends on what a person likes.

Thumbs up You're Here !

Well ;

You never said one word about So. Cal. , you've been talking about New Mexico and San Fransisco so naturally I thought.....

I'll be saddling up and heading to Glendora in an hour or so (lotsa traffic) and look forward to meeting you in person .

Albuquerque is a funny place ~ I like it although I'd not live there for free and many who do live there , hate it passionately .

Get under the car with a flashlight and check out your driveshaft to make sure it is ok Miguel. I've seen balance weights come off of the driveshaft and cause a similar issue. Hopefully, you just lost t tire weight.

Miguel and I spoke about keeping a spare regulator in the glove box when he was in MS.

He seems a very nice sort who brings to America just what we need ~ passion , ideas , thrift and a willingness to work hard to get ahead .

Bon Voyage Miguel ! .

Do you have 5 Guys out there in CA? They started right around here, I believe. Yeah, they ARE good, but I've heard people talking about In-N-Out for years. I'm sure Miguel will be qualified to comment on many fast food chains by the time he gets to SF.

I had no idea that chain was so big. I think it started right here in Arlington or Alexandria. It's hard to find anything unique or "local" anymore. Everything seems to be a chain operation.

Yes, the Netherlands! Is that actually "the ends of the Earth," as I had read somewhere?
