Mark and I were driving down MLK in Tampa. We were almost to his house. Before we crossed 50th, there was a huge cemetery that stretched on both sides of the road for half a mile.

I haven't gotten my BG pass yet, but I DID just get my stimulus check...so whenever you want to go, let me know! I haven't been in ages, not since last year when we went a few times. As long as I don't have to work I'm down for whenever.

Take care of yourself! Don't be a stranger :p

Totally, thanks a lot Eric =) I appreciate that. A lot of people from that high school died recently. A lot of people have been talking about it, 4 or so in the past week, murders and suicides/accidents mostly.

I wish I could go =( I'm not doing anything Monday but I'm completely broke. I have 13 bucks to last me til Tuesday. This trip was so last minute, I just wanted to pay my respects tomorrow ya know? I'm staying up in Holiday, I don't think it's that far from Odessa if you're bored on Monday before 5pm. Give me a call, you have my number, so stop calling me a stranger, =p
