Cute one Jen.  I wish I could send you some of our rain.  We call them gulley washers here...... 1" in 15 minutes.  My tomato plants look like crap because they are stressed by all the rain but there are tomatoes waiting to ripen (if the birds stop pecking them).

Don't have INN and OUT burgers up here. Red Robbins, Original Joe's, Harvey's Carl's Jr, and the 4 other major chains of fast food.

Apis - Red Robbin is a great restaraunt, have one of those in a town about 1 hour from here. I don't eat at the other fast food chains, expect french fried once in a while. The McDonalds here just got a brand new face lift, there was So Much Hoopla with the media that I felt bad for all of our other mom and pop restaraunts that never get hoopla like that.

Les, we just had a gulley washer here last night, that's the way it is in Cali... All or None! Actually caused some flooding in a near town to where they had to evacuate an assisted living facility. That one town got the full dump of rain, the rest of us, ya well, we are pretty crispy around here ... sigh

My tomatoes? if someone (eh hem) hadn't have left the front gate open the deer wouldn't have ventured into the back yard and chewed my toms down to the raw stems, sooo I'm relying on the farmers markets for toms, and Boy! are they yummy! :D

We had In and Outs come here a few years ago. I've never seen such a BIG opening of a burger joint in my life. People were lined up for miles to get one. They are pretty good, but I will stick with my Whataburger.
