Oops

Feedback card

“The woman so nice we mourned her twice.” This afternoon after the services, the weeping funeral attendees got into their cars, and followed the funeral director on a nice tour of the grounds, leading up to a lovely spot near a pond and a fountain. The somewhat confused man then got out of the hearse, paused for a second, and then walked back to tell everyone that they forgot to dig the grave. So, funeral part two is going to take place on Monday. It’s a good thing that I picked the Tuesday return flight.

Holy CRAP, man! That's terrible.

Your graphical creation, however, is brilliant, as always :)

Yeah, I feel bad for my grandpa. He was already crying, and now he has to go through that again. But at least now I have a Fun Funeral Story to tell in the future.

Jesse's "Comment Card" comment during dinner would have been hilarious had I read this post first.

Sorry to hear about Lincoln Memorial dropping the ball. It makes me feel embarrassed to be a Lincolnite.

On another subject, what's going on with these rash of knifings/shootings I keep hearing about in Seattle?

"...two people were shot outside Tiki Bob's Cantina in the 100 block of South King Street in Pioneer Square in what Kappel described as a possible drive-by shooting. He said the suspects may have been in a gray, late-1990s model Mercedes Benz."

Everytime I check the Seattle Times on my usual daily news brief, I see like half of Seattle shot outside pretty recognizable (and you'd think) highly defended areas.

That all just sounds horrible!

What time you getting back to Seattle?
