Hi Ken and fellow Listers Very true, but it has it drawbacks. It is much easier to read stones on a cloudy or overcast day than on a bright Sunny Day. I think I prefer this to going out to the cemetery at night with a flashlight. Most or Many cemeteries today are closed at night (due to vandalism), gates are pulled and locked and the bail might not get paid by hubby to release me if I got caught there at night. I can see myself explaining to the officer that I was only trying to read the stones for my family genealogy. Everyone does not understand Genealogy. My husband still cannot figure out why I always wait for cloudy drizzling days (with possible showers) to do my cemetery trips (especially the remote ones in Lewis,Jefferson & St Lawrence Counties) <GRIN>, he actually thinks that I am cracking up and pretty soon he will be able to have me committed. (He's out of Luck, I'm sticking around) His claim is that he had a normal life until he married me. Regards Pat R
