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.

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?

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.

"The process of mastery is long and gradual, but the end result is a meditative tool as potent as a laser beam, within the inner dimension. Metzner compares it with the tarot card of The Tower struck by lightening which shows 'the laser light of Jupiter Fulminans striking the structure and throwing off the false images of self which fall like dead men from the tower'." Nevill Drury in Don Juan, Mescalito and Modern Magic.

Ever wondered what the inside of one of Alder's giant croissant looked like? Well wonder no more. The mystery is revealed. These croissants are as light and flaky inside as they are rich and buttery in texture.

Polder mills were used for drainage purposes (there are none in the east of the country, where the height above sea level ensures natural drainage of water). Industrial mills were used for a wide variety of purposes, such as milling wheat, extracting oil, hulling rice and peppercorns, and sawing wood. Some of these are still is use today.
