Interesting photos, Mike.

Unfortunately, I probably missed the point of the photos because the first thing I noticed was what kind of work the embalmer did.

That's a very cool project. It's sobering to see younger people dead.

I looked through these yesterday. I wonder how long after death the portriats were taken. It is also interesting to see various responses to death looming.

You seem to be on a death kick. You posted those obits too, didn't you?

Death is with us, always, until it carries us away, as a rabbit grasped by talons rises into the sky.

I died as I lived.
