Naked C-3PO, much more poignant and sympathetic than annoying "clothed" C-3PO.

From the Paxtang Cemetery website:

Paxtang Cemetery first established in 1898, in what was then known as Swatara Township and adjoined the historic Paxton Church grounds. The sight was and still is ideal being elevated ground, rising high and rolling from its front. The soil is dry and particularly well suited for burial purposes. Nature has done much to make this one of her most charming spots. The landscape is beautiful and restful, & the outlook inspiring and magnificent. From any part of the cemetery a beautiful panorama view of the valley, mountains and woods unfolds itself to view. There are 34 acres, 12 of which are undeveloped. There have been over 10,000 internments in the cemetery over the last 100+ years and room for another 10,000 in ground burials.

The Paxtang Mausoleum is one of the cemeteries greatest treasures. The first phase was built in 1916 and the second in 1921. The entire mausoleum is made of granite and white marble. Inside you will find intricate stained glass windows in the walls and ceiling. Brass gates enhance the beauty of family crypts. There is currently five remaining crypts in this mausoleum. We hope to be adding more crypts and cremation niches inside this mausoleum in the near future. The mausoleum is also used today for chapel services during inclement weather.

William C. Grunden was the first caretaker. His grandson, Murvin Grunden III, still lives in Paxtang and is active in borough events.

The "receiving tomb" was used to hold bodies for up to 30 days so that families had time to return home for the funeral.

It was also used to hold bodies when the ground was heavy with snow and not easy to dig. When Harrisburg people died, the old Allison Hill Trolley brought caskets to the cemetery gates on Kelso Street. The caskets then were transferred to a horse-drawn caisson or hearse and taken to the grave.

The inner workings of one of the clocks at my mom and dad's house. I love all of the smeary fingerprints on it! And, no, none of them were mine.

I once left an organ on the curb too, but I didn't brutalize it first.

This gate, with its Gothic arch, belongs to the third and last circle of the walls of the second half of the 13th century. It was transformed in the 15th century and still retains the ancient forepart or ravelin (a triangular fortification or detached outwork, located in front of the innerworks of a fortress).

Bologna (Bulåggna in Emilian and Bononia in Latin) is the capital of and largest city in the Emilia-Romagna region and the Province of Bologna in Northern Italy. It is the seventh most populous city in the country, with about 400,000 inhabitants in the 2020s. Its metropolitan area is home to more than 1,000,000 people. The city is known as la grassa (or the 'Fat City') for its rich cuisine, and the Red City for its red tiled rooftops and, more recently, its leftist politics. It is also called the Learned City because it is home to, what many consider, the oldest university in the world.

Originally Etruscan, the city has been an important urban center for centuries, first under the Etruscans (who called it Felsina), then under the Celts as Bona, later under the Romans (Bonōnia), then again in the Middle Ages, as a free municipality and later signoria, when it was among the largest European cities by population. Famous for its towers, churches and lengthy porticoes, Bologna has a well-preserved historical center, thanks to a careful restoration and conservation policy which began at the end of the 1970s. Home to one of the oldest university in continuous operation, the University of Bologna, established in 1088 C.E., the city has a large student population that gives it a cosmopolitan character. In 2000, it was declared European capital of culture and in 2006. In 2021, UNESCO recognized the lengthy porticoes of the city as a World Heritage Site.

This funny little vintage glass tube is from around WWII and is the perfect addition to your home. Wonderful for a shelf or to place in your plant or terrarium for that extra(terrestrial) feel. 4.5 inches tall, the RCA tube has nine little metal prongs on the bottom and is topped with a metal conductor.

I took a self portrait last night while I was working my second job.

I thought it would be cool to see what this garb looked like as I rarely get to see what it looks like from the outside.

fun stuff huh?

Beauty is on the inside (too). Paris, France.

The ancient Egyptian child represents a healing hope for the future. She hold the symbol of life (Ankh) and the symbol of healing (Eucalyptus). The priest holds the child high so her glowing aura can illuminate the eons.
