Boo. I feel he may have a serious case of the sniffles coming on in the semi-far future?

Knowing Beckoa very well, I am sure he has been plotting his routing to visit any and all Costco's in Europe and Little England (what used to be Great Britain before Brexit) along with actual and rumored building sites for future Costco's whether actually built or not

So it seems BER is not entirely without tourist traffic ... just happens to be the two-wheeled kind.

Sadly we're a little late to partake.
