So, here's the story: Peoria, IL wanted to expand their library, so they started digging. Turns out, the place used to be an old cemetery, chock full of bodies, like 80+ bodies. I should have saved this one for Halloween, but hey, I am nothing if not current. Here's the short, but full, story.
The real question is why this was such a surprise. When I go digging in my yard, I have to consult with the usual gas and power folks. Was there not a cemetery guy? Because of my intense raised-by-TV upbringing, I also consult a short woman with the voice of a child. I ask all the important questions. Is my garden shed gonna be haunted by the ghosts of Native Americans? Will my weed whacker attempt to take my children into other, grass-less dimensions? Can I fit my riding lawn mower and my push mower in here, or will I have to brace the push mower on the wall? Hellish questions from the bowels of my mind.
