Y'all are a hoot. Wrote myself into a corner on this one now fighting to get out. The muse isn't listening so I'm just working on other stories and this one I look at daily but just get dingity dang irritated trying to untangle it. I'm trying to find MY patience. LOL

OH NO! Not corners! There's three ways out of a corner. You can go left. Or you can go right. Or you can go UP and explode all over everything. But when you hit the ceiling you only have another corner. So sad. So sad. Is it time to bring in some space aliens or alligator people with kuru. I'm waiting....... . . . . . . ..

Much as I enjoy this one, you can feel free to take a break to work on Enduring on the Lake. I won't mind.

Seems like Sawyer and Huely need to come home. Everybody needs some sleep, even the dogs. Barbara is going to have a baby. Winter is coming, and they need to keep warm. Seems like a hog slaughtering is in the works, and that means some good eating and maybe a big family workday or three.Needs to be some personal fence mending between people. And,of course, some of Kathy's magic to turn the kaleidoscope and set up a whole new outlook to this story.

Depends on how bad his head was dented.

In rural areas I'm familiar with there are abandon looking graveyards and churchyards all over the place. Some farms have family plots on them. Given the scenario and how people are being systematically starved with little or no medical help available? Who'd look for the missing bodies in a grave yard?

Double occupancy of plots is generally prohibited but, as it's unlikely someone would get a burial permit when taking out trash. ..... another take on stack-it-deep I think. ....

Not sure of the stacking. About ten, maybe fifteen years ago I researched green burials for a church in PA. I'm not a legal professional and not giving legal advice. Laws may have changed since then. YMMV.

Basically at the time it was considered "polite" but not a legal requirement to let the municipality know the church was planning to use church property for burials.

For liability purposes it would be needed to check the kirkyard periodically for collapsed/sunken graves and fill in the collapse.

The only other prohibition at the time that I can remember was not to drop the coffin/corpse in moving water.

And
there's a small boatload of them.
And
they're all really good (big surprise there, right?)
And
I can't wait for her to port those over here.
But
there's only so many hours in any seven day week.
So
I keep reminding myself about "good things come to he or she who waits".
