My late wife was fascinated by old cemeteries and could wander around for hours
reading headstones. I remember once she saw one along the Natchez Trace Parkway
in Mississippi, got me to stop, and it took me nearly an hour to get her out,
practically had to drag her, because I wanted to get to Nashville before dark.
