We hit the KY state line and black skies at about the same time.

This meant a couple of hours driving in the rain to Lexington and I-75 south. Normally we'd just hole up but this was going to be the forcast for several days

Wow! we have made it through the worst of the rain.

We are still heading west...

But the temperature is dropping... 41°F

As we neared Lexington i realized that I was hungry... a 3 hour marathon in the rain does that to me.

I desided to be cool like the young folks... I punched the button on my iPhone and held it. Siri came on and asked if she could help.

I said, "Where is the nearest Chuys"

Siri (the iPhone robot) said, "continue on I-64 W to I-75 South then continue south to Winchester road and so on.

She (it) took us all the way.

We were welcomed by the manager... he asked where we were from... and offered to sell us a Kentucky themed Chuy shirt... knowing that we were from Tennessee... bitter rivels in sports.

We were there before the evening rush... the customers were to one side... we explored and looked at the decor. No one minded.

You can see my Tennessee sweater... that might have tipped them off.

By the way... for those of you that haven't tried Chuy's... it is Tex Mex food.. they use some huge number of Hatch Chilis per year... like 60 tons or something like that... Hatch Chilis come from Hatch, NM.

We really enjoy their food. Our adult kids always ask to go to Chuys when we do birthdays, etc.

I think the staff here are adopting Janet... knowing that they'd have to keep me too! some of their shirts are on the wall.
