Sawnee -- The basic reason for this is a bit grim -- the muscles around the eyes could constrict after death, causing a persons eyes to open, scaring the hell out of everyone. Ancient cultures, like the Greeks, came up with legends to account for the tradition of putting coins over the eyes to stop this from happening, like the myth BEN notes that the coins were to pay the ferryman across the river Styx.

Of course coins had more value in those days. Here's a joke my papaw told me when I was about 5-6 that I never forgot. Two old fellas are sitting side by side in a two-holer outhouse when the first guy starts to pull put his pants -- and some coins clatter into the hole. He gets a sorrowful look on his face, then searches in his wallet for a $5 bill, and throws it in.

His friend says, "What the hell did you do that for?"
And the guy answers, "If you think I'm fishing around in there for 35 cents, you are crazy."

I'm fairly sure ATX would have gone down there if the other guy would lower him down on a rope.

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married
On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured.
Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched - with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down in a daze.
The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?"
"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, ..............But I fish on Fridays.

One of my favorite boxers ever.

Ali was/is my favorite of all time. I met him a couple of times only briefly as a boy and he was very nice and cordial to me. But, that is not why he is my favorite. Ali had the speed of a light weight, the boxing skills of a middle weight, and the power of a heavy weight. He was the total package as a fighter/boxer.

I guess my second is a tie between Sugar Ray Robinson and Alexis Argüello. Both were cerebral boxers and very savvy.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and raining. Just a brief shower. Humid. Clouds clearing later with possible additional pop-up showers. Today's high may reach 90°F. We hit 90°F yesterday.

News discussing passports. Mine expired. Must renew.

Happy Hump Day!

Lunar eclipse starts soon. If only these clouds clear out.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

I have to change that to just Friday. Very stiff and sore this morning. Played 2 games (softball league) last night and did more running than I have for a while. We won the first game by 8, and lost the second one by 1. Had the chance to win because we had the last at bats but, all 3 popped out. Took a bad hop to the chest in that game but, still got the runner out as the ball dropped into my glove. Runner just quit running because it was hard hit and got to me in a less than a second (pitcher). He knew I could just lob it to the first baseman and still beat him out. Have a big red spot below my chest bone but, it does not hurt. It is just the rest of me that is sore because I took some extra bases yesterday on a few throwing errors from the other team. My team was laughing at me getting the extra bases because they said the old man was turning on the afterburners (sarcasm).

You can do it by mail. Also, you can request that they send the old one back (they will put two holes in it) and you can use it later as an extra ID in case some place required 2 or more.
