That's actually a cool idea. But I have some aunts who would be against it because it would make it 'harder to cut the grass in the cemetery.' :roll: We still go rounds over the boarder I have around my mother's grave.

I had to cut grass at the city cemetery once for community service, that was one of the worst jobs I've ever done. Each family plot had its own little stone border so you had to pick up the mower to put it in every grave site. That sucked.

I have bark mulch inside Momma's grave so no one has to mow the grave itself. My aunts complain because one can't just get on a riding mower and go back and forth in straight lines. Every grave out there which has a border has something inside the borders so grass isn't suppose to grow on the graves; however, I will admit that the older graves with just rocks on them have begun to be taken over by the grass. Now there is a new rule that there can be no more borders or any rocks placed on any more graves. I'm actually surprised they are still allowing standing headstones. Btw, our graveyard is only an acre including the driveways so it's not all that big. I can only imagine how big that city cemetery was which you had to cut. :?

When people whose political opinions I disagree with use Frank Herbert to state their case...
I'm tempted to post a description of Leto II's tyrannical rule being the salvation of the entire human race; especially his super-gun-control policy of outlawing lasguns.

lasguns had the unfortunate effect of acting like small, portable nukes if fired into a shield. If weapons like that were available today, you can bet that all but the most ardent NRA supporters would be picketing to have them outlawed. :lol:

I can just remember this rolling stock, at the time of filming it was the oldest stock in everyday use in the world at more than 70 years old.



If for no other reason watch it to find out why the station masters are still in mourning. That's at about 4 or 5 minutes in. :)

Don't let Neb see that or he'll track that guy down and cut it out.
Only if he shows up at my library without sleeves. The no double negative rule only exists in the walls of this library.

And beautiful, although I'd be hesitant to walk from one carriage to another.

It does show how human organisations acquire the strangest of traditions. Do Glasgow Underground (the website seems to refer to it as a subway) personnel still wear a black band, or did it go out with the Victorian rolling stock?

Glasgow is a British city ?

EDIT TO ADD

Steampunkers would have loved that carriage.

EDIT TO ADD AGAIN
The reason for mourning ? See question above.

AND AGAIN
"They knew they were coming back, because if you fall asleep on the subway, you don't get lost. You'll wake up eventually where you live."

I think he meant " because if you pass out drunk on the subway" ;)
