It must be a regular event around there to draw that many birds. I didn't realize that Tibetans dealt with their dead this way until I saw the pictures.

I did not realize that is how they handled disposing of a corpse. Sounds like they have been doing it that way for years.

Well, I have from 1972-2013 spent in either the active Army or the Reserve. So I have the pick of any veteran's cemetery, including Arlington, but they have a new one maybe 50 miles from me, so I'm going there. Courtesy of my uncle.

It's my way to get back part of the 54 years of Social Security payments I've made.

And it's my piece of Obamacare
