What a strange mist has come over the old tomb in the oldest cemetery in this state. The tomb, locally known as "The Mausoleum," has outlasted the original records of who was entombed there possibly as long ago as the late 17th Century. A fire, believed to be arson, in the County Records office in 1912 destroyed the roll call of this colonial necropolis and what markers or stones are all that is left to tell us of who and what is buried where.
The old granite and marble markers are pitted by the sea winds that blow salty mist on a regular basis into the Norriswich Cemetery. No caretaker even tries to abate the weeds or rake the Autumn leaves anymore. No one has come in almost 75 years to mourn a lost loved one. A stranger's attention would most certainly be drawn repeatedly to the giant Mausoleum. Easily meant to hold many generations of a family it is the central focal point of the layout of the grounds.
The one and only word, possibly only a partial, remains on the door:

Things to Ponder (and Smile!):
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes..
Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
Life is sexually transmitted.
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
The Return of The Blogger from Hell:
Hi All.
Long time, no blog. Over a year I think. Have not really checked. So why now? Well, I have lost contact with a few of you and I would love tht contact to be returned. I miss SC more than even sometimes I admit. My first Love was here, my first opening up my soul, as glorious or dark as it has been happened on these pages...
Here is the skinny on the latest:
1) Finished Book 2 of The Revenant Cycle when I was forced to take an unexpected leave of the web from September to January. Many of my finest friends were worried for me and my state of mind knowing that his was one of my very few outlets. Well, I can say it was hard. I can say it was extremely tough and emotionally dev...
Ozone created by electric cars now killing millions in the
seventh largest country in the world, Mexifornia, formerly known as
California White minorities still trying to have English
recognized as Mexifornia's third language.
Spotted Owl plague threatens northwestern United States
crops and livestock.
Baby conceived naturally! Scientists stumped.
Couple petitions court to reinstate heterosexual marriage.
Iran still closed off; physicists estimate it will take at
least 10 more years before radioactivity decreases to safe levels.

How I Spent My Post-Afterlife...:
Thought that might get some attention... Have to tell you Fiends and Neighbors that it is an oven down here in W. Hell, TX. 91° and expected to be 97 by 3pm... Not a breeze or rain drop in sight (Good news with the Rain as it never lasts long enough and then the humidity makes it horribly oppressive for the rest of the day..)
So, many have asked me what have I been doing... I could give you a veritable laundry list of the whys and wherefores of it all but suffice it to say I have been looking for a way out of this Hell-Hole. I guess that probably sounds rude to anyone down here but I am not usually a person who likes my feet growing roots and in the hot, rock and clay based ground of W. Tex...
Now For Something Entirely Different...:
This is a widget produced by clipmarks.com that allow me to clip up to 1000 characters from a page at a time and post them in a HTML Reader like this... I became a member of Clipmarks in September but I only recently discovered its versatility... If you like this widget and please check out the clips and comment on the blog comment option here on SC, then if the reviews from my friends here are good I will keep a reader here at all times to let you know where i am, what I am doing and what I am finding. Think of it as a mini blog and yes, I will still do my normal ones too.
Thanks All,
Dave
Ya' Know for a bag of bones you are hard to keep up with
when it comes to wandering off on your own....*sigh*
If only you had a brain. LOL
Glad to have you back Rev,
The Baron Samdi and his Wife along with the Loa,
send their regards from the other side and said keep up the good
work. lol they also send tobacco, rum, and a side of goat peppers a gift from the wife, to spic-en up your writing.
Love da

Yes, still around... No matter how far I roam, SC remains my first and best home. Thanks for all the comps on my new Avatar. To answer a few Q's: No, this one was not my design (I wish!) but I do call it, "A Brush With Death..."
Rev has been ACHING to write a new blog. Unfortunately, I am trying to remind him that certain subjects are best left unsaid... He is as difficult as ever. Writing is good. Health is good. I am happy for more than the most part. I am not getting the chance I hoped to really do my Halloween Treat, just overwhelmed. Helping create costumes and male-up for 4 teenagers, an adult and two under 10 is wearing me thin...
Ciao for Now,
Dave
Hey Dave!!! I've been gone for a bit, but I'm back come check out the new traxx!!!

It's that time of year again... Time for the Old Bag of Bones to shake off the coffin dust and open wide the Mausoleum doors... CONTRARY to popular opinion, I had not given up on my friends here or my page. If I could explain in a little board post of what HELL I was going through for two years then I would not be a NOVEL writer! You will see more of "Us" around here now. I am doing well in the Rockies. Revenant complains that his bones are rattling. I tell him they rattle all the time anyway! Some Reapers just have to complain!

I figure you're busy settling in to a new way of life and breathing all that fresh mountain air by the time you read this. Just wanted to be part of the house-warming party and wish you the best in your new surroundings......Dee
