The most awkward part is when you have to pause to put on your shoes before you continue rolling out the door.

"Tel Megiddo (from Hebrew: תל מגידו) is the site of the ancient city of Megiddo (/məˈɡɪdoʊ/; Greek: Μεγιδδώ), the remains of which form a tell or archaeological mound, situated in northern Israel at the western edge of the Jezreel Valley about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Haifa near the depopulated Palestinian town of Lajjun and subsequently Kibbutz Megiddo. Megiddo is known for its historical, geographical, and theological importance, especially under its Greek name Armageddon."
