Morgue Humor:::::::::
Got a new place last night.. this is my third move. i am staying at the Riverview Condos and have a one bedroom apartment there. It is a bout half the size of my last one bedroom but seems very spacious after being in such confined spaces for this amount of time. Pictures to follow when I get to see it in daylight,,...... It has very close parking.. about 30 square feet of back yard and patio... a nice kitchen small living area and decent bathroom on a queen bed.. I can live in it for a long time and be ok.
The JFO has lots of urban legends about the DMORT facility. One is that they have a 30 foot alligator (no typo) in a freezer truck that ate a bunch of bodies and was killed so they could reclaim the parts for identification.. (notes below on the accuracy of these).... One of the reasons there are so many bodies here (many hundreds) is that the cemetaries floated away (they are on the surface remember), There is a story that one of the floating mauseleums was captured, flown into the morgue in the old facility and cracked open in hopes of finding clues to the location this body (bodies?) might belong. The Floating cement enclosure was opened only to be found full of snakes trying to evade the flood and on opening the snakes almost explosively left that enclosure and sent the staff running terrified into the night.
The alligator "does" exist. Actually the head does, I hve seen it, and it was perhaps 9 feet as an adult. Aparenly this gator had staked out one of the floaters as lunch and was waiting for it to get properly tender before consuming it. When humans came to reclaim the body, the gator attacked and was killed by armed guards that aparently accompany all these recovery missions. The head was returned to the morgue as some kind of grisly trophy... but no one felt the need to necropsy the beast to see who if anyone was inside and he was 1/3 the length of the story over at the JFO. The snake story is very true and is actually documented on tape from one of the running autopsy cameras... not sure if you wll see it on Americans funniest home videos anytime here soon but you have never seen men and women move so fast in your life....I believe them all to have been poisonous snakes based on what I could see... It apparently shook up one worker so bad they had to be released and sent home more or less permanently.

Send an email with your new mailing address please. I sent mail to the old address that should arrive Monday. Sounds like a nice apartment.
You know you now have a duty to all of your blog readers to make sure we get to see that video of the snakes.
