So yesterday I thought I would try out my new 2-way radios with Lucas. As I was outside waiting for him to put his shoes on, I started off the head up the bluff that we live next to. He was taking forever so I just kept on going up the bluff until I got to the top. What was up there? The Vermillion cemetary. I think that I knew it was up there somewhere, but it is like right above us. So I started touring around the graves and then came upon 4 or 5 like full fledged tombs. (Quite suitable for Easter). These things were built into a small hill on top of the bluff and the entrance to them look out over the landscape below with the Vermillion and Missouri rivers off in the distance. Quite a spectacular view. Unfortunately, now as I sit on my front room sofa- I can sit out and stare at the 15th green on the nearby golf course, but more directly I can see these tombs through the trees. Not sure how I never really noticed them before, but now that I know they are there... that is all I can see. I keep thinking about Return of Living Dead movies with zombies piling out and chanting- "Brains.... BRAAAINNSSS!" Perhaps some day 10 years from now my pair of bolt cutters will go missing and an hour later Lucas will come back saying... "Dad, I accidentally locked Ben in the Brookman tomb."

Very cool, in a creepy, don't-let-your-imagination-run-away-with-you sort of way. ;)
You think I have a morbid imagination?
