Its New York State again. Out the door at 5:56AM @ 25F. We've had some warmer weather so I hope I'm not to early for some northern cemeteries.By a little after 7AM I'm in the snow belt area and they have snow. CRACK........I hate it when I get there just at the crack of dawn, its loud ! I can tell by the snow banks that they have had to use a rotary snow plow up here........and I didn't bring my snow shoes. The first cemetery I was going to visit, the road hasn't been plowed. It a seasonal road, so that will have to wait a couple more months. It was Winona. Now North Boyslton Cemetery road hasn't been plowed either, another to put off till much warmer weather.Continuing on.................Oh look, the house is still all lit up for Christmas, lights everywhere.7:51AM brings me to Richland cemetery on Rt 13. 43.5304184 x 76.04367071st thing I find is a P-Tree.

Another great day with the dead. And my personal comment for the day, damn those S.O.B. Doctors. I wish I could transfer all the pain in my body to a orthopedic Doc for 30 seconds. Thats all I ask, 30 seconds, so he and others can feel what I feel now, and through the day and not looking forward to tomorrow either. As it turned out took me two days to get over this walk. BestBill Help keep our dead alive, remember them.
