Amen, someday I'll be free of it. Not this year but maybe next year. Glad you made it out safe. I can't relate to the liking white castle thing, I've tried and I don't get the hype around it. I used to have a few clients in kentucky and man I enjoyed that state driving there with the right car was nothing short of awesome. 55f is not cold, its comfortable lol.
The natives dress like they are in Minnesota, buses have the heater jacked up as high as it will go, and all the buildings ( library, dentist, shops, etc) are set on broil.
Grew up on White Castle cheeseburgers. Love at first bite, and the only restaurant I can name from those days....well, except Dairy Queen of course, but there is a DQ here!
I used to go to DQ every spring, but I haven't been in years now.
The only one here is quite a ways off via public transit (bus, BART train, then another bus). About a 2-hour trip one-way, and there is nothing else there, so it's a special trip just for that, but I still go at least four times a year. I'm damned determined not to give that up, like everything else. There is a 'Fosters Freeze' in Berserkeley I go to every month or so, which is like a generic rip-off of DQ, plus I do have a milkshake maker and ice cream maker, so I'm not too bad off.
