(1) On my way home last night, I noticed a new sign up at the Union Hill cemetery. It informed the folks that burials could take place with permission only. Since urban planners, legislators, and vandals don’t believe in property rights, anymore; maybe we all have the right to plant bodies anywhere we don’t see a sign prohibiting the behavior.

(2) The gas station I’ve frequented for the last twenty years is now out of gas. The sign informs the folks that its pump handles were not compliant. Speaking from personal experience, I could only hazard a guess at the number of times I’ve dropped dead from using the unregulated handles. Maybe that’s why the cemetery is running behind on permissions. Anyway, it looked to me more like Big Oil using Big Government to squeeze Little Oil out of the market.
