In-laws returned home last night. Dinner with them tonight.
Tires replaced, caliper replaced to the tune of about 800 buckaroos.
Nailles are moving back to Frederick on Aug 1. Mandy has a teaching gig and they’ll be closer to family. I’m glad they’re moving to a place of greater comfort, sad to see them leave the neighborhood.
Must rent Allison a chicken.
Lost about 12lbs since last month. Pulse 80, bp 118/70 got allergy shots.
Successfully fought the summer ant invasion, and the boys have been armored vs fleas.
Saw Pacific rim with Allison, and we both enjoyed it. Also watching Orange is the new black, and its been entertaining too, though the pilot nudity was a bit gratuitous.
car needs 3 new tires rear left brake caliper
Oil change today, but tires will rotate when new tires come on. Current were rated at 60k miles and we got more than 100, so I can’t complain too much.
Homemade pizza with Will C tonight as a tip for mowing our lawn and the blue house’s.
Possible SharePoint gig in green belt and another in dc.
Until later, dear journal.
Separated and Reunited in Death
These grave markers — pressed up against either side of an imposing wall, with a pair of clasped hands reaching over the wall’s top — date to a time in Dutch history when Catholic and Protestant graves were strictly segregated. A Catholic and a Protestant married couple, separated in death, arranged for this unique workaround in order to rejoin one another.
In 1842, a colonel in the Dutch cavalry, JWC van Gorkum, married a woman known as JCPH van Aefferden. The union was controversial — van Gorkum was Protestant and van Aefferden was Catholic. Despite the prevailing culture at the time, the two remained married for decades, only separating when van Gorkum died in 1880.
But when van Aefferden passed away eight years later, she couldn’t be buried with her late husband; even in death, Catholics needed to stay with their own. While alive, she made her wishes clear — she did not want to be buried in her family tomb and, instead, wished to be as close to her husband as possible. The solution, seen above, is their connected tombstones.

Three masked men, one of them armed with a handgun, injured a man and a woman by dousing them with bleach during a home invasion and robbery Monday afternoon in Annapolis.
The robbery happened at 2:45 p.m. on Greenbriar Lane, which is south of Forest Drive. Three men forced their way into the home and doused the 50-year-old woman who owns the home and a 34-year-old man who was doing some work at the home, city police spokesman Sgt. Eric Crane said.
The men then ransacked the home and took two cellphones before running away.
The victims were taken to the Bayview Burn Center in Baltimore with serious but not life-threatening injuries, city fire department spokesman Dale Thompson said.
Both suffered serious burns to their faces, Crane said.
There appears to be some connection between the victims and the suspects, Crane said. “This was not a random robbery,” he said.
The victims’ conditions could not be determined Tuesday morning.
Edit: No burns on her face, but her arms were severely burned by the bleach. The man was released with lesser wounds.
