In the south, we don't have "freeways." That's a West Coast thing. We have "interstates."
Here, all the highways are out in the country.
I see thank you for that

We call motorways freeways or highways, but yeah, definitely a high speed lane with no stop lights. I forget what the Gerry's call their freeways, the one you can drive like a bat out of hell on.
We're watching a TV series called the "moaning of life" it features a guy named Karl Pilkington. He goes to various countries and checks stuff out. I think he's from Manchester, I can understand most of what he says, but he loses me a few words here and there.
😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!! Yes I can imagine watching a miserable sod from Manchester would be good fun to work out
Watch his " idiot abroad " with Ricky gervais in it .... It's one of the best things you'll see mate i PROMISE
RG and Steve merchant ( you might recognise him ) send him over the world but play tricks on him, in the first series he sees the " seven wonders "

Thank you for the explanations
Yeah we watched Idiot abroad too.
Ricky and Steven are just brutal with him and always are goofing on him and Ricky likes to call him a "round headed twonk"
LOL, pretty funny stuff. I can related to Karl a little too much sometimes. I'm not as much as a curmudgeon as he is. I do get agree with a lot of his life views. He's always looking around him and seeing the ridiculous.
I wish houses in So Cal were equipped with basements!
I didn't know they don't have basements there. I grew up in a house with a basement.

Never seen one of them empty, even all hours of the day they always have customers.
I heard they're good. They're not here in the southwest, AFAIK. I guess our equivalent is Lota Burger.

I do that at work on a minute-by-minute basis. Sometimes I just want to find a cement block wall and hit my head against it. I've thought about jumping from the second story window (that's as tall as the building is), but I'd mess that up, only break something and they'd expect me back at work the next day. LMAO
On a happier note, the weather guy said Friday morning that it would be cloudy all day Saturday, but it has been a sunny and wonderful day (in the low 60s). A good day for yard work (not blazing hot or humid).
I keep adding things to my To-Do List, but 6 things have to be done before I can fantasize about doing what is on my list! UGH.

Same thing, different term.
They are all over Ca, NV and parts of AZ as far as I know.
I've heard some people rave about lotta burger and I heard people say that In n Out is better, but I suppose it's all subjective in the end.
Five Guys burgers are starting to make a big presence here in Ca. I know that they are an east coast outfit but I really dig those burgers too. I think in some ways I'm almost liking them better, not quite but they are a good. I've seen in the La forum people starting threads about which place is better. LOL, it can get quite heated.

They both get the job done, just whatever one you have a preference for. I used to hate Fords but for work I've had Ford vehicles and they are actually pretty good.
