Well, I had a big quasi-political screed all set to go, but my cooler-headed censors have put it on standby, so instead you get a little religion news:
So... this guy. Why is it if you claim to be the Messiah you are labeled a nut and shipped off to the booby hatch, but people will line up around the village to get tapped on the head by some teenage jungle hippie? I suppose it has something to do with the fact that Buddhists do, after all, believe in reincarnation. But how do they know he is **THE** Buddha and not just, like, **A** Buddha? Or the New and Improved Buddha? Or ... well, you get my point.
Personally, I'm way more pumped up about this form of afterlife. Traces of a civilization from more than 4,000 years ago -- that's way more fascinating to me, and a heck of a lot more tangible. And hey, Zahi managed to keep his hands off the ladies in this footage, so there's a bonus.
I know. I call bullshit on that story. Sorry, Buddhists!
"Teenage jungle hippie." Hahaha.

Thanks for stpnpiog by and the kind words Merrill. It took me a while but I did find the “Official” records for the Salem Lutheran Cemetery. To say the best, it was a mess. I did finally sort it all out and entered all the names that were in the records into my data base which I am sure you have seen on this site. I just checked and there is no Daniel Price. That doesn’t mean that he isn’t buried there, but there are no records of it. I can’t give you the name of the person with the records because I’m sure you won’t get a response from him. He isn’t a computer person and not even the person that is supposed to have the records. It is a mess to say the least.If I remember correctly, and I’m not sure I do, in the oldest part of the cemetery they aren’t even sure where the graves are so they don’t bury anyone there. I’m not sure about that though. Originally there was a church at the front of the area and but it is long gone.Yes, a number of the stones are just piled up. They were just thrown every which way between two trees. My wife and I took them all out of the pile, cleaned them, took photos and then piled them back “neatly” rather than in a heap.I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.Thanks again for stpnpiog by.Bob Jones
