depotguy's blog post - freaked but not really

Friday, February 20, 2009, 3:36:55 AM
So I have been going to the town planning meetings involving the mostly rural area where my farm is. I really don't want a wall mart to open next door so I feel I should be involved.

As we unroll this giant map of the township, the 80 (at least) year old man beside me asks where my house is. I point out my 40 acres and he says "Theres some kids burried on your fenceline." I was a little startled but then not really. I felt this was a strong possibility.

After the meeting I asked him some more questions and he pin-pointed the graves location. He said there used to be 3 birch trees there but they are gone now.

I think I will plant some more this spring.

It's respectful

A good way to honour their memory.

And you moved to avoid things like "Big American Box Store with W Name", so I don't blame you. I'd be more freaked about them than the gravesite.

Those huge stores always want more greenbelt they don't care about wrecking the countryside all about making big bucks.
