You wouldn't think they'd be so well paid, undertakers. --Gavin Troy "The Killings at Badger's Drift"
Troy, darling, with the body count Midsomer County racks up, being an undertaker is a sure-fired way to become a multi-millionaire. In that light, Dennis Rainbird's personalized Porsche is HARDLY suspicious.
I'm at the ruins of Fort Miamis today, originally built by the British in 1794 to stop US military advances in the Maumee Valley and to solidify Indigenous support against westward expansion of US settlements. It was abandoned, but reoccupied by the British in 1813 to battle American forces upriver at Fort Meigs during the War of 1812.
I had expected the old earthworks of the fort—all that remains at the site—to be gentle undulations in the earth, but they are still quite steep! My pictures don't do it justice. Just down the street there is a public boat launch on the Maumee River, seen here from an observation deck at the elevation of the old fort.
important question what is the general location of grotts parking lot. dox that boy for me
Grott lives in the city of Flagler in southern Miami-Dade County, an amalgam of all the places I grew up, sandwiched between US-1 and the Turnpike. If I had to put it on the map, it's kinda sorta Florida City (34), Homestead (33), Leisure City (kk), Naranja (jj), with some bits of Kendall (u), Cutler Bay (32), Coral Gables (28), and a dash of Key Largo (not pictured; Monroe County) for flavor.
If you grew up down here, you're familiar with the name Henry Flagler, or at the very least the cult of personality all the politicians and businessowners have built up around him. The old Overseas Railroad that connected Key West to the mainland cuts Flagler right down the middle, and Grott literally lives on the wrong side of the tracks. The Miami Metropolitan Area is a congested hellhole, but it's HIS congested hellhole! Grott's official responsibilities as a rook-in-training begin and end within the boundaries of the vacant lot he calls home, but he has appointed himself the town and county's Tutelary Gargoyle, sworn preserver, protector, and defender of everything and everyone between the Evergaldes and Biscayne Bay.
The forces of evil are on the rise in Florida, and Grott faces them head on every single day!
