For the first time ever I received a $6 burger freshly prepared.  HUGE jump in quality.  If only it weren't a one-time fluke! :(

Thank gawd they finally got a new supplier of fries!

But I gotta dock the company a star cuz this was the second CJ visit…More »

So everybody in Kettleman City has the same price, so I stop at Mobil cuz it's first as we're leaving Carl's Jr. and my wife has a Mobil card.  It says something like $.02 per gallon or some decent price.

So I start filling up and notice it's charging…More »

I really want to give this place a good review.  I'm a pretty faithful Best Western person, and there were several good things about this hotel.

The shower was awesome.  Lots of water pressure, and the adjustable shower head actually worked!  And it…More »

My wife and I stumbled upon this place while we were walking around the area around our hotel, and we loved it.  Interesting sandwiches, awesome bread, and everybody there was exceptionally friendly.  I'm not much of a sandwich person, so I'm…More »

I can't eat before a gig, so usually as soon as I'm through I'm suddenly starving.  But coming out of the X Fest I was fighting a head cold that now has me flat on my ass in bed.  Still, I didn't want to wake up at 4 in the morning ready to gnaw on…More »

So my wife is starving, but she's a sucker for Arby's, and I had noticed there was one at Hwy. 46 a few days earlier when we were heading north.  So we skip Santa Nella, skip Kettleman City, and arrive at Lost Hills only to find the Arby's/Love's…More »

Yes, this is a review of the Hwy. 46 Chevron in Lost Hills, Ca.  But the story begins two days before up in Kettleman City, so don't become flustered or upset in confusion.

So everybody in Kettleman City has the same gas price, so I stop at Mobil cuz…More »

The Hurd's Festivus Meander '11 (17)

Holiday roa-oa-oa-oa-oad.

The Hurd Family Vacation 2008 (12)

Kerrville, TX and environs.

Prince Edward Island (18)

Yes, it exists!  It's in Canada!  Even though the employees of the airline that gets you there have never heard of it or know where it is!  This list is now expanded and complete now that Yelp discovered Canada.

Big Bear (7)

Ski and eat, or in my case, just eat.

Hollywood Debauchery! (5)

I wish my friend would turn 40 every year! :D

NYC (13)

3.3 stars!  You can't fly across the country just to see Genesis at Giants Stadium.  You have to spend a few days doing other crap too!  Here's the other crap we did:

Our 12th Anniverary (6)

4 stars!  Most folks are lucky to be married twelve months, let alone years.  Dumb bastards!

Da Hurd Family Vacation '07 (21)

3.6 stars!  If you happen to be taking the exact same trip as us then...
