More Coffin News

That the hurricane caused disinterment of so many is just weird. Weeks later, they are still finding folks. Burial is still better than cremation. My kids still talk about when we made a trip to the keys and ended up out on the old piece of the 7 Mile Bridge. At the rail where the bridge was cut off, was a grizzled old guy and a ten year old kid. We couldn't help overhearing their conversation. Very shortly, I realized that they had a small, gold box with them and a bottle of Miller Beer. They were getting ready to dump the kid's father into his final resting place. We made a hasty exit rather than intrude on their time, but it was seriously strange. After all, who wants a bottle of Miller poured on them? ofs
