We walked up to the trail. It was pouring rain and we were hungry and rather miserable. So, we took some pictures and headed back. - By the time we were back in town, I realized that I left the tiger here. So, I made my way back across town on the bus and down through through the neighborhoods in the dark to recover him. Guess after all this travel, Im kinda attached.
For me, visiting the great philosopher David Hume's impressive statue at the Royal Mile in Edinburgh completes a sort of "triad", the other two being Darwin's statue at the Natural History Museum in London and Turing's statue at Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes. All three have had groundbreaking legacies. It's funny to see the statue's toe polished and shiny, unlike the rest of it, because apparently tourists and newbie philosophers keep rubbing it for luck. Hume himself argued against superstition, so I hope the irony isn't lost on those people.

Hegel’s works in a cheap edition from Suhrkamp. Twenty-one volumes. Somebody may have read all of them, but not me. One of these days I’ll shelve them in order.

Ascension burial ground, Huntingdon Road, Cambridge
The Ascension Burial Ground is one of my favourite urban cemeteries of all. It sits out in the suburbs at the Girton end of Huntingdon Road, a good three miles from the centre of Cambridge, but it was originally laid out as the burial grounds of St Peter's and St Giles's parishes, the two city centre parishes either side of the river. As such, a number of my ancestors are buried here, including my great-grandmother Alice Reynolds, who died in 1967. While searching for her grave (although I suspect she does not have a headstone) I found two other relatives, my great-great-uncle Samuel Mortlock and his wife Mary, and my great-grandmother's uncle Samuel Anable. Both families must have been reasonably well off, because they have fine headstones.
Otherwise, the place is a treasure trove of fine memorials, including what appears to be a little-known one by Eric Gill. The cemetery is now known as the Ascension Burial Ground because St Peter's and St Giles's parishes were subsumed into the parish of the Ascension. Confusingly, the chapel in the cemetery is actually dedicated to All Souls.
