And those who do survive usually have permanent lung damage. We really need to find a treatment and/or vaccine for this thing. That will most likely take a year or more however. The only good news I've found is that the rate of new infections definitely seems to be slowing. You'd certainly hope so with vast numbers of the populace under virtual house arrest. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

In the movie of the same name, Soylent Green supposedly was a portmanteau of soy and lentil, but in the film, Sol Roth and Robert Thorn discover it is made in a factory from dead people. Solent and Soylent ain't the same thing. Had you paid attention in grammar school, you might have encountered another interesting watery word...tombolo. We had one where we grew up. :) |

Never knew much about them until Mrs.E's father passed away. A WWII vet, he wanted to go to the National Cemetery on Cape Cod. I was very impressed with the place. Well kept, well run and very respectful of the deceased and family. He was Navy, so they had a small Navy Honor Guard at the brief but inspiring ceremony at which an American Flag, carefully folded properly, was presented to his spouse. A few years later, she passed away and was buried with him there. (The spouse of a deceased Vet is also eligible for burial in a National Cemetery). That's when I decided that when my time comes, that's where I'll go. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Well, I won't be around, so she can do whatshe wants.I never had the Arlington thing and my father who had a spot if hewanted it, didn't either. Both of my parents wanted to be scattered inthe water around their home. My father went to the Gulf, my motherwent right off the dock out in back of her home. (her choice)I have a brother buried there (Silver Star), so maybe my wife will have me joinhim. Who knows!--Freedom Isn't Free! That would be quite an honor. Fat Harry's remains will likely be stored in a mason jar in his beloved basement office. His name inscribed with a Sharpie. A mason jar? I'm thinking it would require a 5 gallon bucket from Lowe's. |

Never knew much about them until Mrs.E's father passed away. A WWII vet, he wanted to go to the National Cemetery on Cape Cod. I was very impressed with the place. Well kept, well run and very respectful of the deceased and family. He was Navy, so they had a small Navy Honor Guard at the brief but inspiring ceremony at which an American Flag, carefully folded properly, was presented to his spouse. A few years later, she passed away and was buried with him there. (The spouse of a deceased Vet is also eligible for burial in a National Cemetery). That's when I decided that when my time comes, that's where I'll go. I was impressed by the charter boat guy who took us out in the boat with my Dad. He was a Navy guy and ran my Dads flag up one of the outriggers during the little ceremony we had and he and the mate saluted when we spread the ashes. Then they took the flag down, he and the mate carefully folded it and gave it to my Mom. The spell was broken when he asked if we wanted to do a little fishing since we still had a couple hours on the charter ;-) My Mom said no. |
