T-10 days
I have no idea what T means. But in any event, it's the ten day count down to the Memorial Day weekend.
We had one funeral today, and have another one for Friday. That's two days out of my week, although Biv doesn't mind working a bit later so we stay past the normal half day and get stuff done. I'm not sure how that's going to work for her as she cant make more than a certain amount because of her Mass Healthcare.
This morning I noticed a truck that was parked in the cemetery over the weekend was still in the same spot, so I called the police and gave them the plate number. The truck had the key in it and was unlocked. No strange oder though. Someone came by at 2 to take it away or try to, but it wouldn't start and they were waiting for AAA. Acording to Biv, who called me tonight, it was still there after dark. Well, I need it out of there for Friday, so I hope they get it out of there.
I had a call from a woman who's brother is buried at the cemetery. He was a cremation. I think I may have mentioned this before. He was a WW2 veteran in a major battle, I forget which one, but they made a movie about it and he was portrayed in the movie as one of the members of this team, and he (the vet.) was a consultant on the movie. Anyway, the sister now wants his ashes to be removed and buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I have a feeling it was the guy who was reasearching this who put the bug in her ear that he could be buried there. I just wonder at his motives, and I wonder why she would want to dig up her brother from his family lot, where his siblings and father (who were all war vets) are buried. Just seems wrong to me. But it's up to her I guess, if she is the last family member. I have to check on that before I go digging things up though. I don't want his kid to come by and tell me they didn't give permission for this. I'm actually not even sure I can find the cremation, as there are three in the lot and they were not marked well, and she isn't sure what kind of container he was in. Let sleeping dogs lie...
