Amongst a field of graves

So I woke up this morning hoping my ecology lab would be canceled, seeing as I got only about 2.5 hours of sleep. I'm glad it wasn't though. We drove out to a cemetery and spent about 2 hours pacing between the graves, recording the birth and death dates of certain individuals. The purpose was to gather a large sample of human lifetime lengths. Despite the "work" it was really kind of nice. It was a great half and half overcast sunny day. The graveyard and tombstones were beautiful and interesting and the recording was, in a way, fun too. The only part I would have changed is I wish it were a bit warmer. Now I feel fine, but at the time I swore my fingers had frozen solid.

A surprising amount of people live to be in their 80's, and I was pleased to find a lady that lived to be 104, her name was Rose C. Bruener and her on her marker was an engraving of her named that looked like it might have been a imitation of her signiture. She lived from Feb 11, 1897 to Oct 29, 2001. That's amazing to me. However the universe is balanced and I found more than one grave for a child that never made is past 5. A little depressing, but I suppose that's how it goes sometimes. More so in the 1800's.

As a final note, green grapes are delicious
