Look at that cheeseburger and weep.

Strange story behind this one. After a morning up in the north ‘burbs, I hustled back to the house to work from home so I could hopefully avoid missing the UPS man — I’ve had a bad run of lost/misdelivered mail recently. I drove up to the house just as that big brown truck was driving away. Curses! I decided to tail it and, in the most non-threatening way possible, corner the driver at his next destination and see if I could get my stuff.

I followed him for several blocks before he stopped. I parked up the street, ran back, told him my situation, and he went back into the truck and got me my boxes.

Walking back to my car, I decided I needed to celebrate this small victory over delivery-tyranny by grabbing a cheeseburger. Since I was now right near Mic Duck’s Drive-In, I figured now was as good a time to try it as any.

Bought the cheeseburger with everything on it, plus pickles. No, at Mic Duck’s, pickles are not included in “everything.” Good burger. GREAT cheese sauce for the fries. Including a drink it came to $6.18. Cheap and fulfilling, just like a good Valentine’s Day should be.
