Well, owl be a...
Just pretend this is hwitty.
Haha Good one Paul.
Would be the same here but we have BOTH decided that
we want to be placed in cheap wooden boxes and then
cremated. I've told my best friend and the kids where my
ashes are to be placed.
No need wasting money on a fancy box and plot.
Let the folks at the wake have a good time with the money
saved. First Round will be on me after i'm gone.

My wife and I have similar arrangements. I had the place picked where I wanted to have my ashes spread. Darned if all the trees did not burn down in a forest fire a few years ago.
Some kind of irony here, but not smart enough to figure it out? As it would take 40+ years for the trees to be about half height, not sure if I shouldn't be scouting out another spot?
Yesterday where we rode is NFS land and we passed a grave site with what appears to be a new headstone. Near what was a silver mine of many years ago, long abandoned!
So the Hills seem to be a place a lot of people consider? Need to go back and check out the mine entrance a little more?
Was in Rapid City today for various reasons, and one part of town was very sad. Lots of drunks, people who appeared to be high, with physical deformities, staggering around.
They were walking into traffic, 45mph limit, stepping in front of vehicles, throwing up their arms and trying to get vehicles to stop, etc. Stopped at a red light, and 5 or so suddenly came up towards the truck. Nice wasn't on their faces! Told my wife when they got within 20', red or not, we were leaving. My diesel smokes pretty good at altitude, so we sprayed for bugs a little and moved on. Don't remember this from past many years here, maybe stayed away and did not notice? And yes other remedies were immediately available, but glad motoring away resolved our potential involvement in anything.
BTW had a nice Shiner Bock with smoked BBQ ribs this evening at the Camp restaurant and store. Every Thursday night, so we are going back next Thursday!
Everybody have a nice, safe evening!!! ☺
From 6th MarDiv Presidential Unit Citation
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION to the SIXTH MARINE DIVISION (REINFORCED)
consisting of the Sixth Marine Division; First Marine War Dog Platoon; Fifth Provisional Rocket Detachment; Third Platoon, First Bomb Disposal Company; Marine Observation Squadron Six; Sixth Joint Assault Signal Company; First Armored Amphibian Battalion; Fourth Amphibian Tractor Battalion; Ninth Amphibian Tractor Battalion; First Section, Second Platoon, First Bomb Disposal Company, 708th Amphibian Tank Battalion, U. S. Army; Third Armored Amphibian Battalion (less four platoons); 91st Chemical Mortar Company (Separate), U. S. Army; First Platoon, Company B, 713th Armored Flamethrower Battalion, U. S. Army,
for service as set forth in the following citation:
"For extraordinary heroism in action against enemy Japanese forces during the assault and capture of Okinawa, April 1 to June 21 1945. Seizing Yontan Airfield in its initial operation, the Sixth Marine Division (Reinforced) smashed through organized resistance to capture Ishikawa Isthmus, the town of Nago and the heavily fortified Motobu Peninsula in 13 days. Later committed to the southern front, units of the Division withstood overwhelming artillery and mortar barrages, repulsed furious counterattacks, and staunchly pushed over the rocky terrain to reduce almost impregnable defenses and capture Sugar Loaf Hill. Turning southeast, they took the capital city of Naha and executed a surprise shore-to-shore landing on the Oroku Peninsula, securing the area with its prized Naha Airfield and harbor after nine days of fierce fighting. Re-entering the lines in the south, Sixth Division Marines sought out enemy forces entrenched in a series of rocky ridges extending to the southern tip of the island, advancing relentlessly and rendering decisive support until the last remnants of enemy opposition were exterminated and the island secured. By their valor and tenacity, the officers and men of the Sixth Marine Division (Reinforced) contributed materially to the conquest of Okinawa, and their gallantry in overcoming a fanatic enemy in the face of extraordinary danger and difficulty adds new luster to Marine Corps history, and to the traditions of the Naval Service.
For the President.
James Forrestal,
Secretary of the Navy

Another story , though this one is from the past!
Search and Rescue, EMS, and LE were all part of my job at Grand Canyon National Park back in the 1990s. We had several investigations and recoveries of falling victims during that time. BTW: drowning and falls from a height are the number one and number two causes of deaths on public lands.
Most of the falling deaths at Grand Canyon were either accidental or suicides, but a couple were what later became known as Grand Canyon Divorces. One guy killed two of his wives several years apart by pushing them over the edge. That genius figured since it worked the first time, the second would be easy. Just a couple of years ago, a newlywed wife shoved her husband of a few weeks off the edge of a cliff at an overlook on the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. If you think serious crime doesn't occur in the National Parks, think again. Just a cheery note on the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service. Enjoy

My wife once tried to push me off a sidewalk. I have since cancelled my life insurance to remove incentive.Another story , though this one is from the past!

I'm not even sure what this is...but it should arrive Saturday.
I really don't have a bunch of disposable income, but I have done pretty well on a couple transactions lately. Just didn't want y'all to think I was some high falutin millionaire type. I get that a lot you know.
