I read the Eskimo elders wandered off on the ice to die thus feeding the polar bears which fed their clan.

My plan is cremation and an eternity on a windy slop of the Sierra mountains.

I recently learned that wells near old cemeteries are often contaminated with arsenic...
...Seems that embalming fluid was loaded with arsenic...

Maybe I should pick a spot now and dig a nice hole with the backhoe, cover it and use it when needed. I think my boy can back fill if I give him enough room.
I'm glad these rules don't apply to pets, some of mine have been put to rest overlooking their favorite places. My first GP is high up watching over everything.

Been there for Buffalo burgers that were raised on the island. The buffalo were brought there for a movie and well..... they multiplied and now have to be culled. Yummy

My first dog is next to the end of the driveway, watching every time that I come and go. I didn't think about it at the time but it's also where a woodcock had nested and hatched her young a few years before my dog died. It's a rather fitting spot the way she loved to retrieve grouse, and to track down cripples.

We had a party line until 1973, so still had nosey neighbors up to that point.
