My father was a CHP officer way back in the San Joaquin Valley. He experienced the severe fog conditions. One night he actually sat on the hood of the patrol car and guided his partner through the fog bank. When they came out into a clearing they counted over 100 cars who had followed them! Slow down and crack your windows open so you can hear other cars approaching. Also a side note his mother lived to 106!

Once, many years ago, my wife and i came upon a large grave yard in CA. and of the 30-40 graves; 20-30 were children. Mostly before the age of five. I still sometimes think about them, their mom, dad, and siblings and the grief they must have had to endure. This grave yard was long ago forgotten and was only a few miles from another one that is quite well known. Anyway.....nice work on the history, Jeff. Can hardly believe 118 years. Wow!

Cenotaphs can be especially sad. While visiting a cemetery outside of Lima, Ohio I came across one for a submariner of the USS Lagarto, a boat lost at sea in May of 1945. I thought about that young man, his boatmates and his family for a long time that day and many times since then.
