Monday, August 11th, I braved all the traffic, stoplights and photo-enforced lights and drove US-12 to Memory Gardens in Arlington Heights' Illinois, and cleaned off the grass from the edges of Liz's parents' marker and put up flowers in the vase.
I then went to China Buffet near where Liz's mom Frances lived after moving from her home in Palatine, Illinois. We used to have a China Buffet in Fox Lake, but it closed and I was wondering if this was the same one. They had the best walnut shrimp in the world. It wasn't, but I had a great meal anyway.
Next, I went to my favorite store anywhere around, Half Price Books, which also had records and CDs. Like the name says, everything is cheap and all the stiff that I like. Cost me $40 to get out of there, but got some good stuff.
Then, I stopped at White Castle on Dundee Road and bought ten sliders to take home.
It seems that every other stoplight in Lake Zurich on US-12, is waiting to take that $100 out of your pocket. They should change their welcome sign to "Welcome to Lake Zurich, the Village With a Photo-Enforced Heart!"
Stopped at Thompson's Nursery in Volo and then went out for some boating on Fox Lake.
Not a Bad Monday. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
