First, let me tell you that the wonderful men of the UA a/c shop came and fixed our air. I honestly thought I was going to pass out for a little bit, there! But it is now cooler, and I can give you the answer to the quiz.

Oh, y'all had some really good guesses, and thanks for playing! But I'm afraid that you were all wrong. Well, all except for my mother-in-law...but even she was probably a little bit wrong, because there's a different twist on this.

This, my friends, is a drive-thru funeral parlor. See the window on the far right? The body is displayed in the window there...and friends, family...and - well, I guess just about anyone - can pay their respects without getting out of the car. I've heard that when there is a body in the window, for viewing, the funeral director (or whoever) puts a book outside on a podium, so all you have to do is roll your window down and sign your name.

I think this has to be one of the absolute most interesting - and perhaps wildest - concepts in the world...and it is located in a small town about 30 minutes from here.

How did I learn about it? And is that a real picture?

Several weeks ago, we were eating dinner with this guy (that Nathan used to work with) & his wife. The three of them began telling me all about this place, and I honestly thought they were really trying to pull one over on me. I'm gullible like that. But they insisted that it's true...

Then yesterday, N & I were coming home from Montgomery, and I asked if we had passed the turnoff for the 'drive thru funeral home' and in fact, we had not. So Nathan drove me by there - and I HAD to take a picture of the place, because, like I said...it's just...interesting to me. So yes, it's a real picture...still on my memory card, if you don't believe me!

Anyway, I'm not knocking the idea...I just have to say that I believe I may have heard it all, now. And apparently, it is not the only one in the world!

Yes, my friends...I do believe I've heard it all...
