TV shows, rats, bogs, art, various quizzes
I keep forgetting to look up certain TV show episodes online for my mom - oops. Maybe I'll see if Without A Trace (like the Soul Asylum song!) and Grey's Anatomy are on UK Television Links, since it worked for 24. If I do have to ask online communities for this, I won't do what she said! ("Just tell them that it's for yourself, and don't say it's for me!") Uh, I don't see what's the harm in telling them that it's for my mom! It's not like she has to "save face" in an online community she doesn't know about. ;) (and I found links to the shows on Daily Motion also!) Guess I'll email those links to my sister at some point, haha. I also called Chinese Eric, who's not within range of his cell phone. I'm almost sure we can make something work for a hangout time... too bad he's not online!
Today's Edgar Allan Poe-ish Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
For years, the neighbors have been complaining that Thomas H. Stone, 67, was feeding rats at his suburban Seattle home. They apparently won't have to worry about that anymore. But the sheriff's deputy who checked on the last complaint may have a hard time getting the image he found out of his head. Authorities said the deputy found a dead body, believed to be Stone, on the second floor in a house full of rodents, feces and garbage -- with rats feeding on the decomposing corpse. One neighbor said they'd been warning officials for about five years about the rats. And county health workers told Stone to stop feeding them. "I wanted to get him help," neighbor Tom Ellis told the Seattle Times. "And I wanted the rats to go away." Investigators even imposed fines, got a lien on the house, and won a judgment that's now more than $200,000. Ellis said he and his family watched as Stone threw peanuts to the rats and squirrels sitting on his balcony. "In the end, he wouldn't even take out the garbage," Ellis said. "It looks like he never took down the Christmas decorations from when his mother died in 1999. It was all very Edgar Allan Poe-ish." The man lived in the home with his mother and became the owner upon her 1999 death.

Wretched Recommendations!
Bill has a recommendation for the morbid kid in your life:
"I was looking over your newsletter about the bog body, and was looking for some more pics when I ran across this book."
Bodies from the Bog by James M. Deem
"Lots of pics from from bogs. I don't own it, but here is what caught my eye. It is written for 9-12 year olds. A good gift for the morbid kid... :)"

Morbid Art Du Jour!
Bobby Neel Adams is a fascinating photographer who photographs mine victims and cemetery angels, and creates fascinating age maps where he morphs two photographs of the same person, one young and one old, into a single portrait. It really makes you think about "the passing of time and all of its crimes."
Thanks to Cathy for the link.
Well, I knew that... I'll just cry into my non-existent beer. :P
Somehow, I don't think I'll make it into that exalted club of centenarians or higher. :P
