Do the math…
…you’ll save 60¢ on each meal with the #3 combo.
Or, to look at it another way, you can save yourself $14.99, since Burger Boy #2 appears to be out of business.
And, then, if you add in the savings in fuel costs by not even driving over there…well, you can see how the savings are just adding up.

The savings are even greater for me since I won’t have to drive 1,654 miles to Lubbock, Texas. But the Jumbo Burger sounds pretty tempting!

If you drive 1,654 miles to Lubbock, I’ll buy your lunch. Seems like the least I could do.
(I saw your comment on Ehpem’s blog this morning about not following all the daily blogs, and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it that you’ve found this one worthy of your time, and your comments!)

Ken, I don’t know about miles, but wanting to take back roads, a tripod, and pictures I am looking at 3400km to get there. I think I would be pretty hungry after 41 hours of driving too (if I did not stop even for photos), so maybe Melinda can extend her offer to me as well. It sure would be disappointing to drive all that way and discover the place was closed!
For me, the arrow under the sign is the best part of this shot – a miniature leading line to take us on our way to a place that is open. Do you suppose that is why they went out of business? People drove up, maybe read the sign and perhaps even entertained themselves with a bit of mental math? And then saw the arrow and left?

Of course my offer is extended to you, too, Ehpem. I try to be a good hostess.
But, I also hate for you and Ken to be doing all the driving. Perhaps it would be better if we chose somewhere in the middle, which would be somewhere in the vicinity of Zhoda, Manitoba. We’d have to leave early, to get there by lunch.
“Meth? You are here to procure meth? Please follow the arrow around back.” I am pretty sure that’s what the arrow means. (This place is in sort of a rough part of town.)

Of course, meth conjoins with mental so much better than does math. That must be it.
Not Manitoba. Please (http://bit.ly/HELo). How about Yankton, South Dakota – that would amuse me. the name, if I am meeting someone from NY and TX at the same time..

Yes, the film convinced me that Manitoba was not a good suggestion. Yankton, then. As long as you and Ken don’t mind driving a lot further than I will be.
(Thanks for the link to the film – the scuba-diving blackflies were excellent.)

In this one I see the ephemeral flower-weeds in front and the lightweight bushy thing on the left, all interspersed with the white stains on the wall – but everything is stopped peremptorily by the arrow that leads to food, not dreams. Sorry but always see ‘ things ‘ in your photos !

I don’t mind if you see “things” in my photos – it means you are really looking at them!
And you’re right – that arrow does seem to halt all the other things, which I didn’t notice until you pointed it out.

A good offer if you are a family of four. We are only two so I feel the menu is prejudiced! Whenever I see signs/sights like this I wonder what the terminal event was that made them go bust.

That IS a prejudicial menu. My daughter-in-law is an attorney; maybe she’d take the case, although even I can tell it’s a fairly weak one, with the Burger Boy being out of business.
I know what you mean – sometimes I wish there was a little sign on the front of places like this that had the story!
