Mario’s is about a block away and we can see it from our east facing windows. It is open until the last drunk makes it out the door. Usually about 5AM. When I can not sleep at night, I watch the comings and goings at Mario’s. Their customers are not asleep – so why should I be asleep.

And now, for the dark side – our local crematorium. About three blocks away. We can not see the crematorium. But, at least once a day – I take a little short cut thru their parking lot. And, I have never seen any smoke coming out those smoke stacks. I wonder – do they only crank up the oven after dark?
Before the housing market crashed, a condo was going to be built on the mortuary site – but the mortuary/crematorium was going to stay on the ground floor. Sort of macabre – even for my tastes.

Peg….love the pictures and love Mario’s……straight out of the 50’s. Good job.
