I love this picture, it is a good representation of how much nature respects our burial traditions. Which is not at all.

Here’s the thing. I think graves and our system of burying people is an INCREDIBLE waste. Basically, we take someone whose soul is gone, pump them full of toxic chemicals, dress them up, and then stare at them for a few hours. Then we put them in the ground atop a few feet of concrete in a box that will be there FOREVER, and then cover them with dirt. And in 50 years no one will even care who is in that box. There is just no need for it. Because in a hundred years your tombstone will be covered in dirt and no one is going to care what your casket looked like or what dress you were buried in or what you looked like at the funeral. When I die, take everything medicine can use, burn my body and scatter my ashes somewhere. I’ll be dead. I WON’T CARE.

Yes, yes I am full of sunshine today, sue me.

It’s a headstone, an old headstone, with money on it. I imagine there is a good reason, maybe some old tradition I don’t know of. But all I can think of is some jackass going to his friend’s grave and being all “Here’s the sixteen cents I owe you.” And the dead guy looking down and thinking, “LOT OF GOOD IT DOES ME NOW!”

Edgar Allan Poe has a strong Baltimore connection. He had family here, lived here and died here (though he wasn’t living here at the time, he died while visiting relatives). He is buried in what is now smack in the middle of downtown Baltimore. If you don’t know, I LOVE graveyards. Give me a camera, a fall day, and an old cemetery and I won’t come out til dark. Sunday I visited Westminster Hall where Poe’s grave lies. Here is a picture of his second grave (his first was unmarked and his third and last is near the front with a monument), but I like this one the best.

From Wikipedia: Located in an area rich with American history, scholars believe the span crosses within 100 yards of the site, marked in the water off the bridge by a stars and striped painted buoy, where Francis Scott Key witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry on the evening of September 12, 1814. That battle inspired Key to write the words of the Star Spangled Banner. Located just southeast of the bridge are the ruins of Fort Carroll.

I have someone on my mind today who lives in Vegas, so I thought I would reach back and pull out one of the photos from last year’s blogworld. This little sculpture sat under a weeping willow right in the front yard. That may or may not have been scary when coming home from a party at night. I think everyone asked at least three times, ‘Who is sitting in the front yard?’

I’ve recently become obsessed with spinner rings (aka ‘worry rings’). I have been looking online for a while, but I was reluctant to order. With these rings it’s important that the motion is smooth, that it spins nicely, and I was afraid I would get one online and it would be all frakked up. The other day, I was going by the Fire & Ice and voila – a perfect spinner ring.

If you were watching my twitter stream, you know how taxing that whole ‘being an adult’ thing was. Honestly. It was a nice day out, but at every place you went the person/ people talking started with the same line “Milton Hershey was a great man….” The eyerolls were plentiful. I consoled myself with chocolate. Also, whoever the PR people who put that crap together should get a bonus.

It’s time for another history lesson, my good friends. Did you know that the first blood spilled was NOT at the first battle (Fort Sumter) but was on Pratt Street in Baltimore. It’s true. This week marks the 150th anniversary of that battle. Here’s a paving stone from that battle. (OK, to be fair Baltimore is over 200 years old and there’s LOTS of streets with these paving stones still around. But this one was in a museum, so it’s legit.)

I have this great new gig. Me and about 19 other people from Baltimore have been chosen to represent the Charm City in this year’s second Baltimore Buzz Brigade (that page isn’t updated with all the new members yet, so you won’t see my picture at the moment). The program, sponsored by Visit Baltimore, is all about telling the world what’s great about this city, and why it’s an awesome place to visit, live, and do business.  If you have a question on Baltimore, you can ask your question right on the city’s website.

Last Saturday, the group went on a tour of some of the great museums of city. I took a TON of pictures. You can see them all here. There is also a group Flickr set as well. But I know that not all my readers are on the East Coast, so I though a little video demonstration of what you’re missing might be in order. Here are pictures from Geppi’s Entertainment Museum, Sports Legends Museum, and (my favorite) the American Visionary Museum. Here are some things to look out for in the video; the first comic where Superman appeared, 50 year old cookies, Zombie Silver Surfer, a World Series Trophy, Johnny Unitas’ Baltimore Colts Jacket, Safe Sex, a Fallen Angel, and an angelic squirrel. Enjoy!

Did you know that your town library system was probably set up by Carnegie. Yes, that Carnegie. Most libraries are Carnegie libraries. Except in Baltimore, in Baltimore the library system was set up by a man who donated over $1,000,000 to the city to set up four libraries. That libaray system is still flourishing today. This is taken from the second of the first four branches that opened, it’s no longer a library – it’s a modern art gallery. A wonderful little place. But this floor mosaic is still there. How awesome is that?

More from DC. I found this little creature in one of the crosswalks. Who painted it? When? Why? So many questions, one great picture. (also did you notice that you hit the trifecta today? A blog post, a daily rant, AND a daily picture. Today is your lucky day. Go buy a lottery ticket. NOW.)

Took my friends into see DC on Saturday, and I happened to be in the right place at the right time for this shot. Now, don’t we all feel all patriotic?

This is a photo of the National Katyn Memorial that sits in Baltimore, near the water. I had some great shots of it but, again, this one was the best out of the bunch.

I had these cupcakes made for the MomzShare get together, they were awesome. Also? I started a set on Flickr entitled ‘cupcakes’. Because cupcakes rule. (Made by Charm City Cupcakes)

I know that this photo was part of my video/ picture montage, but I had to single this one out. What did the sock-monkey do to be shut up with electrical tape and have his hands bound together. My guess is he tried to sell the secret of the Charm City Cake’s awesomeness. Me and my squad have plans to liberate the monkey in a top secret operation.

To get this picture I had to lean waaaay over a railing and stick my camera at an odd angle. The things I do for you people;

I took a ton of photos yesterday when I went Charm City Cakes (SUH-WEET), but this railing was on a house across the street and I couldn’t resist:

Remember this photo from the hotel in New York? Look what I found! A very similar set of lights. I think this is going to be a thing for me.

Fact: the longest freestanding escalator in world is at the CNN headquarters in Atlanta. Another fact: This is not CNN’s escalator. But it IS in Atlanta. It is at the Peachtree Station in downtown Atlanta. All undergrounds have really long escalators (WMATA, MARTA, METRO, etc.) but this one, by my count, is almost 4 stories tall. And it makes a great picture.

Baltimore was founded in 1729, and like most cities in early America, had a harbor that became integral to its growth. I was in Fells Point last night, and here was the view from one of streets.

More market photos. No fish this time, although I do have one more I am going to post, but this is fruit, and the colors are luv-eh-ly.

Why am uploading this photo? First glance, you’re probably all…ewww. But I love the monochromatic look of this photo- varying shades of gray except for that eye. See it now? Look, quit your bitching or next time I’m gonna post road kill. It’s ART, y’all ART. (This was taken at the historic Lexington Market in downtown Baltimore).

I took Oreo to a dog park this weekend. This picture shows some of the mayhem involved. A note- Oreo looks a little unsure in this photo, in fact, he was trying to scout out a place for him to sniff.

Fall is almost here (HEAR THAT HEAT? FALL!! So stop that 90-degree stuff. Now.) The flowers are trying to put on one last show. Here is Maryland’s State Flower: The Black-Eyed Susan.

Just as I was about to take this picture a bug landed. So he became part of the photo.

I’m back! And let’s start off with something sweet, it was kind of overcast and cloudy today. The days I love the best, and a harbinger that fall is in the air. I wanted to make something, but had no chocolate so I snagged a jar of peanut butter and made some peanut butter cookies and no bake cookies. Yum! No, I’m not sharing.
