I recall being told by an idiot that taping glass windows when a
hurricane is coming was stupid. I don't think it's stupid to want to
prevent flying glass, do you?

Yes, that would be eery.

Nice inscription, Jim. It's nice you can smile about it. Sounds like
many good and shared memories and fondness. That's nice. The 'feds'
got my mother's date of birth wrong on her marker (also a National
Cemetery). I thought when they arranged the funeral they'd get the date
off the death certificate. Those dates are correct. But someone made a
mistake (not me!) on the marker; it says she was born in 1916, not 1926.

I was so overwhelmed by everything when Mom died I didn't notice the
typo on the year. You only have a short period of time to verify and
change things before they set the marker. My mother is probably
chuckling at having "officially" lived 10 years longer than she actually
did.
