Looking for dead people in Pennsylvania

| My mother likes digging up the skeletons in the closet. Some ancestors are buried somewhere around here. Well, actually not an ancestor. We were looking for an ancestor of someone my ancestor killed.
This section of the cemetary had graves from about 1825 through 1880. I found these three graves below. It was a man with the graves of his two wives on either side. After looking for graves, we went on a tour of the Niagra, a replica of a ship that fought in the War of 1812. |

| At the Maritime Museum, there was a poll whether the US should have declared war on the British or not. Notice how there are considerably more contributions on the "yes, declare war" side. This bothered me. We are in the middle of a war now. People have died and more are going to die in the future. There is a saying from the Buddha that I can't remember while I write this in my hotel room. It's something like hatred not being able to drive out hatred, only kindness/love can stop the hate. We need more of that in this world today. |  |
 
Erie has a bunch of these fish around town. They are all painted different colors, decorated in different ways. |
