I once had a roommate who was a mortician – this was at least 20 years ago. He had some scary books. Blecch. And – one morning he appeared in the doorway of my bedroom saying something like, "I've got my eye on you" and when I looked up, he was standing there with a false eye in his mouth. Okaaaaay…
I visited during my travels. I think they were surprised to see a "civilian" visitor. They had some great souvenirs: cups with the aphorism, "Any day above ground is a good one."
