The original plan had been to go the arts festival in Piedmont Park. The only problem was, no one thought to call  before 3 pm. It was too late to go to town. What about the Sandy Springs festival?
PG got to Uzi’s house, and they headed to the old Target. Strangely, the parking lot was empty. Normally on festival days, the lot is packed. It seems as though the festival is next weekend.
Since we are in the area, why don’t we go walking at Arlington Cemetery? Both men knew residents. One lap around the facility, and it will be time for dinner.
PG and Uzi had been to Arlington Cemetery before . There were some new artifacts today. The most showy is a pavilion dedicated to the glory of Michael Carlos . Mr. Carlos owned a wine distribution company, and donated a lot of money to Emory University, begetting the Michael C. Carlos Museum .
Down the hill from the Carlos exhibit is a gallery of headstones. Apparently, people who have been cremated can be honored here. This area overlooks a lake.
Arlington is a diverse place. It has a large Jewish section, and headstones in several exotic languages. There is a section with stand up marble headstones recently cut, which is rather unique. Most cemeteries today only allow the ground level brass markers, which can easily be topped by lawnmowers. Several of these modern stones are noteworthy designs.
There was a comment made about the residents having lots of time to do nothing. PG countered by saying that living people have no clue what it was like to be dead, and were not supposed to. This is not the way Jesus worshipers see things.
After a visit to the food court at Perimeter Mall, it was time for another Sunday night. The residents at the cemetery were probably happy for the company. While their taxes are lower than yours, you probably have more fun.
