Unfortunate Locations

Alas, I depart for The Empire next week, so any updates that may happen over the next several days will be contingent upon either the benevolence of the Queen or the availability of free internet access in Manchester. My lovely and powerful wife is being sent on a book tour to the UK, and I am going along for the ride. I'm having a hard time with the concept of leaving my toddler behind, as my developmental experiments require constant supervision, but I just can't pass up an opportunity to put on my druid cloak and creep about the moors.

One thing I did want to share about my departure from the Mortuary the other night - Right as you leave the building itself to approach your car in the parking lot, you are welcomed by the flashing neon light of "Ray's Burger Barn" next door. In their signage, they tout "Old Fashioned Burgers" and "Fresh Ground Beef."

This is not necessarily disturbing in itself (unless you are vegan), but the proximity of the restaurant to the mortuary *does* lead one to wonder where the ground beef actually comes from.

Disturbing.
