Since it’s almost Halloween, it’s time that I finish some business from Halloween of last year.
In the southeastern corner of Alexandria, there is a large complex of cemeteries that covers 35 acres or more. Most maps label the entire thing as Alexandria National Cemetery (the precursor to Arlington National Cemetery), but Alexandria National Cemetery only makes up a small part of the complex. The rest is composed of lots belonging to various Alexandria churches.
The cemeteries are filled with the sort of ornate grave markers that were popular a hundred years ago or more.
On Halloween of last year (2015), I happened to be in the area of this cemetery complex, and decided to take a walk there, because it seemed like a Halloweeny thing to do, and I hoped that something Halloweeny would happen.
Nothing Halloweeny happened.
But I did come across this bear, which has to be the most un-Halloweeny thing imaginable.
