I love the idea of being killed by a falling tombstone. Is there a better way to go?

After giving us a potential album cover a few weeks ago you’ve now given us a band name and a possible album title with Mexican Jets and (from on of this week’s photographs) Size Matters. Now I just have to form the band and make this happen.

What a rich post yet again. I am sure that groundhog knows all about bones and special feasts LOL. I loved the photos of the #sistersnottwins houses - took me a while to realize they were indeed different houses and not the same being photographed at different times. Also, thanks for the gift recommendation for my sister-in-law- hehehe

As always, so many interesting photos (and stories). More splits for your collection, old cemeteries (always favorites of mine), bread on a stump?, rusted out car with red shoes, gardener's office, eclipse in a pan in a cemetery. Love 'em all.

Love your humor, and the way it just comes out. Like I’m reading something serious and the next moment I’m laughing!

Interesting houses, split down the middle to make 2 addresses. Wonder how they started. Maybe 2 grown siblings deciding to literally halve the family home? Hopefully not sisters-in-law living side by side!

The good thing about being a historian of the city of New York is that you never seem to run short of new stories to tell...

Rob, your storytelling is mesmerizing and your photographs are real works of art! What a great time I had visiting Graniteville through this post. Really memorable. You're a one-man National Geographic.
