A COWBOY TOMBSTONE :
Here are the Five Rules for Men to Follow for a Happy Life that Russell J. Larsen had inscribed on his headstone in Logan , Utah . He died not knowing that he would win the 'Coolest Headstone' contest.


FIVE RULES FOR MEN TO FOLLOW FOR A HAPPY LIFE:
1. It's important to have a woman who helps at home, cooks from time to time, cleans up, and has a job.
2. It's important to have a woman who can make you laugh.
3. It's important to have a woman who you can trust, and doesn't lie to you.
4. It's important to have a woman who is good in bed, and likes to be with you.
5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each other, or else you could end up dead like me.

One of our sick and more perverted hobbies is walking in cemeteries. Its good that my wife likes to do it too. Its the little out of the way ones that are best. Our society seems to have lost the knack of writing what killed a poor person. The best ones are in Colorado, With Sliverton being the top of the heap. If you're ever that way, its worth the time to walk it. All kinds of causes of death, like "killed by snow slide". And then there's the Tomichi cemetery up on the west side of Tomichi Pass (I know, no one else here will ever get to the place). Its a tiny place, but has my all time favorite "Killed by dynamite explosion".

Last week we were in Empire, CO and they've got a wooden one "carved" out of a nice piece of pine. Its only about 10 years old, and I fear it won't last forever. My grandson took pix of it, but its on his Ipod and we haven't recovered them yet. We didn't have time for a hike around Georgetown's final resting place. But I'll visit it if I get the chance. Maybe next summer.

My wife and I have the same perverted interest in old cemeteries, and yep, Colorado has some interesting ones (been to the one in Silverton - Cripple Creek has an interesting one also). However, I wouldn't be a Texan if I didn't mention that Texas has some interesting cemeteries also - last week we were down in the Hill Country visiting my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and various other in- and out-laws, and while we were waiting for dark for the Old Tunnel State Park Bat Swarm at dusk (yep, you read that right - google it - just south of Leukenbach) we took the mom-in-law through the Fredericksburg cemetery - being mostly German, it is a picture in precision, with the graves being in chronological order - separate children section, again with chronological order (huge section for 1917-18 child deaths - flu epidemic). Watched the cemetery white-tailed deer herd come out to feed on the live oak acorns - late fawning this year, with a couple of babies still covered with spots.
