Gadzooks! It feels like it’s hotter than a cookstove on the back porch…but it’s only 111.
WTF?
Guess it’s because it’s kind of humid this afternoon. Wunderground pegs the humidity at 15%, which is kinda high for our parts. Ohhhh well.
Trying to get a steak and a fistful of French fries cooked on the backyard grill before a storm comes in. But…truth to tell, it doesn’t much look like any storm is y-cumin’ in. We might get a little rain around sunset or after dark tonight…but I ain’t puttin’ any money on it.
Contemplating a li’l investigative reporting. Subject: the funeral industry in our garden state. Customs and regulations here seem designed to make it easy to clip survivors of the Deceased.
Some of this stuff, I reckon I really don’t wanna know. But truth to tell (and to stare at, dead on), some of this stuff really pisseth me off. Somebody needs to bring this to the attention of the public, and keep it in the attention of the public .
Hm. How to go about that….
I read a book about the funeral industry a while back and it was well written. I agree with you. The funeral industry is a racket but perhaps my biggest concern is, what happens to the cemeteries and mausoleums that are abandoned? YouTube has many videos that reveal the very real neglect that occurs when the cemetery ‘goes out of business’ and the graves, niches, etc. are abandoned. It’s dreadful. The YouTubers walk through corridor after corridor in these abandoned mausoleums, uploading videos that depict strange liquid matter seeping out of the walls and coffins that have been disturbed. It’s horrendous.
Here’s the book by Jessica Mitford:
