The first time I used one of those drive through car things, I freaked out and called for help on my cell phone. In California I was used to the car washes where you sip lattes and read while they wash, wax and dry your car. Moving to Michigan, I've learned that these drive through things are all the rage and yes in between snowstorms there's a long line to wash the guck off so it can get all dirt again. :-) <abbr><em>Karen Swim´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordsForHire/~3/3R0nn103a6s/" rel="nofollow">Love and Basketball</a></abbr></em> Jamie, I’m sorry I missed this tweet stream but thanks for sharing it here!

They sold off the church some time ago and a family rehabbed it into a kickin' house. So, I'll be that building really is for sale and the cemetery is not... but selling a cemetery would make an excellent story, especially if the inhabitants were the one's who came up with a bid! @Jacqueline Twitter is a strange beast. I use it for many things. Putting up links, storing/sharing quotes, meeting new people... But I also use it to warm up before writing. Helps to get the mind right when you have to say something in 140 characters or less. ;) @Tom There’s a large, public cemetery near my house.

I drive past an old cemetery every day on my way to work. It has a church, or at least a church-like building, on the same small property. I noticed the other day that there is a "For Sale" realty sign sitting in front of the building's doors. I'm guessing it's a joke, but now I can't help wondering why someone would decided to sell an old cemetery. It's not like it's a summer home! <abbr><em>Tom´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.thatstom.com/?p=234" rel="nofollow">Brotherly awesomeness</a></abbr></em> A car wash with zombies is always a better car wash.
