Left Behind - Laura intended to bring In-N-Out burgers home for dinner, but she neglected to do so. They spent a lonely night sequestered in the refrigerator at her work. I created this image to remind her: In the News - They walk among us!
Laura emailed me this image in order to allay my fears the burgers would be left behind yet again:
I further cautioned her regarding the safe passage of my burger!
As I pondered my burger's fate—would my burger arrive safely?—I received an email from my good friend, Chris. His message contained this photograph of his travel from work to home. (Note that his returning home in this weather necessarily indicates he had to have traveled TO work during the early hours of darkness!) I was suddenly saddened to realize how I had placed concern for the safe passage of my burger above concern for my friend!
However, when my In-N-Out burger arrived, and I took my first bite I fell fully under the thrall of the burger! I became one with the burger! Nothing else mattered!

Hiroshima Day, In-N-Out Burger, and Enjoy!
Hiroshima Day - 2013 August 6 and 9 sees 68th Anniversary of the Atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In-N-Out Burger - Laura sent me a photograph from her Motorola Droid M. The image indicated she was driving her Dodge Challenger toward In-N-Out Burger! I knew from experience this meant a burger for ME upon Laura's arrival at our nest! Enjoy! - Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
This event was the opening chapter on the nuclear age and the threat of nuclear weapons worldwide.
Under the slogan "Hiroshima never again" the Sydney Hiroshima Day Committee has campaigned for nuclear weapons to made illegal and to be never again used or threatened to be used.
The need is just as great now as ever it was.
Later that day, she sent me another photograph from her smartphone. My burger was on its way to me! Drive carefully, Laura! You are carrying precious cargo!
Upon Laura's arrival at our nest, she found me seated at the dining room table, smiling, drooling, twitching with anticipation. She handed me my burger!
Within a brief period of time, it looked like this!
Shortly thereafter, there was no trace of the burger remaining. It was delicious!
WARNING: This video contains some foul language near the end. I hesitated to include it here, but the balance of the video is just altogether TOO FUNNY not to share it!

In-N-Out Burger and Be Entertained!
In-N-Out Burger - Laura sent me an email yesterday that contained a recipe. She said she thought it sounded very good and wished to make it. I replied, "I can has cheezburger?" Laura quickly replied, "Yes." I had no idea what she meant. Shortly thereafter, she emailed photographs of her visit to In-N-Out Burger. I salivated copiously throughout the day whilst awaiting her arrival at our home. She was carrying precious cargo! Be Entertained! - Relax and enjoy these videos!
The burger was absolutely delicious. There is nothing in the burger world that can compare. The burger she brought me was an Animal-Style Burger. I devoured it ravenously and thanked her profusely.
When In-N-Out Burger first opened in 1948, the company only provided a basic menu of burgers, fries, and beverages. The foods it prepared were made on-site from fresh ingredients, including its French fries, which were sliced and cooked to order. Unlike other major competitors in the hamburger fast food restaurant business (Burger King, McDonald's and Wendy's), as the chain expanded over the years, it has not added products such as chicken or salads to its menu or changed its preparation methods.
All burgers consist of one or more 1/8 lb beef patties cooked to "medium-well" and served on a toasted bun. The standard style of burger includes tomato, hand-leafed lettuce, and "spread," a sauce similar to Thousand Island dressing. In addition, customers are asked if they wish to add raw or grilled onions.
Instead of a broad menu like other competitors, In-N-Out has become known for its Secret Menu, unadvertised variations of its burgers that are based on customer preferences, such as the popular "Animal Style." Here is In-N-Out's Secret Menu
