@meesh No, I can personally account for at least 2 (maybe 3) others that’ve traversed The Williams Gullet. (Book 3 title? I want royalties!)

B–right, but was this his FIRST in and out burger?

@meesh, I can definitely say he has.

@Joni, In-N-Out Burger is about as good of a burger as you’re going to get in the fast food world. They are a southern California institution (think Beach Boys, Surf City USA, cruising Friday nights, and In-N-Out). If there were such a claim able to be made, they’d be considered a relatively “responsible” fast food company as they prepare their food fresh, pay somewhere near double the minimum wage and have done an incredible job of keeping their menu focused on somewhere around 10 items (3 are burgers, the rest are drinks and fries). Oh yeah, and it’s dirt cheap.

Hmmm…Cost, quality, speed. Pick 2. Something’s odd about that place.

What’s an in and out burger? I have some guesses but I just have to know

Yes, I have heard that it has been pretty cold in LA, too.

I’m glad that you got to the right side and liked the Serenity. I have seen it only once and liked it immediately even though I didn’t see the whole series of Firefly (sadly).

60??? Make that 70 degrees. Don’t forget our bitching is really a complaint about return on our “Sunshine Tax.”

“Not working on anything related to Autumn Rain for a period of 96 hours”

I was wondering if you could write a little bit more about HOW you go about writing. Do you outline the chapters first with a general idea of what u want to write about within a chapter. Or just shoot from the hip and figure it out later?
Thanks
John
