Just in case some of you need directions to Cemeno's.........
From I 80, take the Houbolt Road exit north to Jefferson St, RT 52, and turn right, or east to the first traffic light which is Essington Rd. Turn left, there is no place to turn right at that intersection, and go to the fourth traffic light which is Theodore St. Cemeno's is right behind the Thornton gas station on the corner.
BP, Houbolt Rd is the exit where your motel is located.
Hope this helps!

Lippy, What part of the great state of Kansas are you from?
Have you ever heard of a town called Palco?? I think it's somewhere near Hays.

Sure Rock, we are about 40 or so mi south east of Palco. Palco is between Hays and Ellis I believe.

We are 20mi straight south of Hays.

I used to work with the Roberts boys, Dale and Gale, who were from Palco.
A couple of nice guys.

Hi guys. Just made it to Joliet a half hour ago and HOLY CRAP, does that Chicago I-80 interchange SUCK!!! I left purposely to get there at about 3:30 Central time to miss most of the rush hour. Man, what a nightmare! I'm sporting a huge headache for which I immediately slammed two JW Dundee's Honey Brown Lagers to try to make it go away!

Denise took the kids to the pool for a pre-dinner dip. We actually came to the Comfort Inn South in instead of the other place we had planned. Once here, I just said I'M STAYING! So we are three miles from where we intended to be, but no biggie in terms of planning. Back to the Chicago I-80 thing (let me know when this descends into whining). I sat in bumper to bumper traffic for over an hour just so I could get to a tollbooth and give the guy.... wait for it... 60 CENTS! Can you imagine the productivity lost while folks from both directions sit in that mess for an hour for 60 FREAKING CENTS? It boggles the mind!!! I'd have gladly paid them 6 DOLLARS to get out of it! They should offer THAT as an option. Not only lost productivity, but lost sales, etc., because there is no way I'm coming back this way. The people down on Route 70 are getting my bucks on the return trip... OK, even I think I'm starting to whine now so on we go... Just left Rocky a voicemail... he'll be at the restaurant at 8:30. Pro70 and Bandit should be en route, I'm guessing, or at least about ready to head out the door. I'm going to wrap this up, slam another Honey Brown, and go get Denise and the kids so they can wash off the chlorine before we go out to eat... I need to figure out something to make Denise's birthday special tonight. Maybe a little hot tub action when we get back... it's open until midnight for adults. I figure we lock the kids in with Comedy Central and they'll be golden!
THIS THING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN!!! BP
