Did she look online? I got a free gravesite finder site with ancestry. com. Apparently somebody goes around photographing all the tombstones in cemetary's and lists them online. I have found over a dozen of my family. https://www.findagrave.com/



I think anyone can add a grave to "findagrave". For instance, a serial killer could list the shallow gravesites of his victims. Submit a picture. All done.

Likewise. I rebooted, etc., but now I see that I don't have to adjust my computer.


My Amazon Fire can view it, though.

Yeah, I can't get in either even if I try http rather than https .

Thanks guys, I usually blame my lack of skills for such problems. Nice to know that it is not my ignorance this time.

I have visited tons of cities in the USA touring with the Grateful dead. See the city sites during the day, show at night.
All the big cities in the USA have sh*thole areas.
Overall SF is cleaner then most US cities
I think of NYC and Philly when it comes to sh*thole cities
You really need to go overseas to visit large cities that are not sh*tholes
Tokyo comes to mind. I walked around a lot in that city.
Overall Tokyo is pretty clean

I found Toronto to be very clean.

Yeah, a movie was being filmed there and the director ordered garbage to be brought in to make the alley look more realistic. After the lunch break the crew returned for more filming and found the city had cleaned up the alley in the interim.
