numbers can be so creepy.

the most beautiful little cemetery is on my new running route. i did some research on its history and learned that the complete records of who is buried here were destroyed in a fire but the last burial took place in 1975.

the local museum's website had this to say:
"Cemetery Road was established in 1907 with its starting point on Davidson Road and proceeding south to a dead end."


i also learned these facts:

- according to the plot plan, the number of graves is 33
- the lot number at the time it was converted to a graveyard was East half, Lot 66, Plan 444
- the cost of having the land surveyed, marked and pegged was $44.00
- the cost of logging and brush burning was $77.00

elisabeth, josh and i went for breakfast at cosmos this morning and found a stack of old unused notebooks (circa 1930's?) en route. some of them come with multiplication tables on the back covers, others with informative instructions on how to build a miniature fleet of boats.

if you can't be bothered to read the entire thing, all you need to know is that any Tom, Dick or Helen can accomplish this task by following these simple steps:

* first you find carpenters at work (easy)
* then you collect hundreds of odd-shaped blocks of wood (easy)
* then you whittle (easy)
* then you nail (easy)
* then you paint windows and doors in black (easy)
* then you sail them (gallantly) across the surface of a small body of water (easy)
* repeat dozens of times (gets even easier)

any boy or girl can do this.
any face at all.
