Once upon a time, I googled my real name on the internet. Come on! We've all
done it, or at least considered it.
Anyway, my name is rather unusual, so I only got a page of hits. Most were
either about discussion of satirical editorials I wrote to my university paper,
or listing me as surviving my father in his obituary.
However, there was
one which was
different.
It was a catalog of names from a small cemetery (about two acres) in rural
south-west Arkansas. Apparently there was a woman with the same name as me who
died three and one half years to the day before I was born.
So recently (just before Halloween of course) I had the opportunity to visit my
own grave. Mind you, this was not just a tombstone --although I have some
acquaintances who have their stones already engraved but for the end-date. This
was the real thing.
Was it strange? Yes, and it was kind of eerie in a macabre way. It certainly
gave me insight into my own immortality (
metaphorically speaking of
course
).

It's HWY
278 in South-west Arkansas, United States:
not HWY 27B
in Vietnam.

Uh .... I'm sure a Davis Cemetery would be common on Pinkertron Rd. in Viet
Nam, so I see the room for confusion
