Adams Rubble: I have been watching the Netflix series called the crown
Riddle Sideways: was not asking for the shirt off your back ㋡
Riddle Sideways: was saying it looks nice
Adams Rubble: :) thank you Riddle
Adams Rubble: in one of the later episodes there is a recounting of a disaster in a Welsh mining town
Adams Rubble: the coal company piled up debris on top of a mountain over top of a natural spring
Adams Rubble: it rained for three days in october 1966
Adams Rubble: and the debris came down the mountain in a landslide and buried a Junior School kkilling 116 children
Riddle Sideways: oh dear
Adams Rubble: two long troughs were dug at the cemetery and all the little coffins laid side by side
Adams Rubble: there was a scene in the movie and there is a clip of all the townspeople lined up along side the troughs singing a hymn
Adams Rubble: it is very moving and reminder of how fragile our lives are
Adams Rubble: I have been musing of that for the past 24 hours
Adams Rubble: must remember to hug our loved ones
Riddle Sideways: yes

--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: Musing
Riddle Sideways: making dinner later last night and listening to "This American Life"
Riddle Sideways: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/689/digging-up-the-bones
Riddle Sideways: a long piece
Adams Rubble: maybe you would summarize
Riddle Sideways: the essence is that Greece has so little land that it can't waste it on cemetries
Riddle Sideways: they have run out of room to bury people
Riddle Sideways: so, they dug them out and let newer ones have the space
Adams Rubble: like the old monasteries
Riddle Sideways: dig them up
Riddle Sideways: is that what they did in those little plots next to the monasteries?
Riddle Sideways: to fit them all in
Adams Rubble: hey dug up the bones and sorted them--all the skull together, etc
Riddle Sideways: Even the famous one under the huge tombstones? Sir Ralph or Mozart
Adams Rubble: I guess I am making this sound more universal than it was.
Adams Rubble: places like Mount Athos
Adams Rubble: Mount Sinai
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: The area grew up in has many sacred burial grounds
Riddle Sideways: and there were many modern reasons to build a highway there or a dam that has the lake behind it back up
Riddle Sideways: big issue on trying to move those graves
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: big cities too
Adams Rubble: people who were supposed to move bodies did not and then they are discovered late when excavating for newer construction
Adams Rubble: the bodies not the people who were spposed to move them :)
Adams Rubble: one of my acestors farms is under a lake and it is a gated community and I could not even visit the lake
Riddle Sideways: Jerusalem has that problem on every remodel
Adams Rubble: oh yes
Adams Rubble: layers of city
Adams Rubble: I don;t think I want a Hamlet seeing my bones and saying alas, poor Rubble, I knew her well
Riddle Sideways: more musing
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: OR getting use out of bones that one is not using anymore
Adams Rubble: if one believes in reincarnation, one has left lots of bones over the lifetimes
Riddle Sideways: can't find a good link to another story heard last night.
Riddle Sideways: Of the guy looking for Troy
Adams Rubble: you posted that link
Adams Rubble: Shleeman
