ILMOTOUR-- 2010-- Part 10-- Lake of the Ozarks

Since this is our trip to go to where we'll meet up with the Illinois Route 66 Association's annual motor tour which will be meeting up at Pacific, Missouri, outside St. Louis to start the cruise, I promise we will eventually actually get there, or at least to some spot along Route 66 in Missouri.

However, we're still, on June 10th, Thursday morning, about 50 miles from Lebanon, Missouri, the closest Route 66 spot. We had bought a copy of the Fratelli's "Costello Music" album at a used CD store in Jefferson City for $5.99 yesterday, June 9th. This is the one that has the Blackhawk chant on it "Chelsea Dagger." Needless to say, the album got played a lot, and the song even more for the rest of the trip.

I should also mention that yesterday, we bought some of Burger King's new ribs in Moberly, Missouri. Who would have figured you'd ever have the opportunity to buy ribs at a Burger King? You've come a long way, baby. When I was working at the BK in Palatine, Illinois, back in high school, I would have never thought it. But, then again, back then, a Whopper went for a whoppin' 49 cents.

The ribs were considerably more than 49 cents, actually, around $7.99 for the large order. They were very tasty, but too small for the amount they were charging.

Still Not on 66. --RoadDog
