There is a restaurant next door to the bookstore where I work that until recently was called The Good Son. It closed for remodeling for a few weeks and changed it's name to "The Goods." Which of course means they can just remove a few letters and use the same signs. A money saving idea that I can certainly appreciate. They have also uncovered a door that provides direct access to their restaurant from the bookstore, which was covered up years ago when a previous restaurant moved into the space. The restaurant was all set to reopen when the oven blew up, setting off the sprinklers in the bookstore's offices - located directly beneath the restaurant - and causing over $3,000 in damages. Since then the restaurant has been cleaning things up, and is now back open. As I was walking past the place the other day, checking on the progress, I took the above photograph of a dog looking out of the main entrance, evidently there to help with the cleanup. And goofing off instead. You just can't find good help these days. In any case, the bottom line is you better take a close look at your oven. They can be deadly.
