Oh, they've even put Lobey 13 Dosser on the plate.

Taken from another place;

As a guitarist, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man.

And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my guitar and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”

Apparently, I’m still lost…

I read, somewhere, years ago, the police in various American cities keep an eye on the thermometer, as hot sticky weather sees a rise in violent crime and riots. They'd normally see much more of an effect from it over there than we would here, but the same factors are coming into play.

Ice sculpting

I found that was the big drawback of insulating the bedroom ceilings. Great improvement in the winter, of course, but in the summer I can't have the windows open after dark else every flying bug gets in and the heat upstairs is intolerable.
No wonder air conditioning is getting more popular.
