That would have been a better title if I had been paying attention!
What's been going on? We've been enjoying the oddly nice weather we've been having here in SE Michigan. We even had clear skies for the eclipse last week and got to see it! Normally for an event like that it would be cloudy.
I use step-in fence posts in the cemetery for the skeletons. However the only ones I have been able to find are 4 feet tall - and 9 inches of that goes underground. Depending on the shape of the skeleton's spine, they may stand up straight or they lean backwards since the top of the fence post barely reaches above the hipbones. So I've been on the lookout for taller ones.
Back in January, I was driving to Kalamazoo for a conference and I happened to notice there is a Rural King store in Michigan. Exactly one!
So I checked out their website and they have 63" fence posts! IN STOCK!
Which means 54" is above ground, so they're going to be perfect for the skeletons! And they're only $5 each! That box leaning against my house is taller than me (I'm 5'8") and $20 shipping was worth it, since it took less than 24 hours for them to arrive! Even if I would have had to pick them up, it would have only been a 45 minute drive or so - and this was cheaper since I would have had to shop while I was there!
