Last week, I went on a 10 day roadtrip with my brother across the US from Newport Beach California to New York City. This post will mark the first in a series about that experience. While passing through St. Louis Missouri, I took the opportunity to visit the grave of one of my favorite artists
William S Burroughs, laid to rest in the Burroughs family plot in the beautiful
Belfontaine Cemetary.
The large obelisk is the grave Burrough's grandfather, inventor of the calculator (called "The Adding Machine" back then, it's also the title of one of Burroughs' book of essays)
I was surprised at how modest his grave is. Lacking flowers, I left behind a seashell I picked up off the shore of the Pacific.
