Common sense isn't.
Credit goes to the Coal Creek Watershed Foundation's web page describing the Coal Creek Motor Discovery Trail for providing a suggested tour route and information about the area.
More pictures and information can be found at Carl Fritts' web pages about the Leach Cemetery and the Fraterville mine disaster. Also, Bonnie Phillips is collecting pictures, names and dates from Leach cemetery, as well as from many others in the area.
The location is shown in this aerial view from Terraserver (faint circle at right), and in this map from maps.yahoo.com.
It makes a stunning impression to see the same date, May 19, 1902, over and over, on every headstone in the circular pattern surrouding the central monument.
The photo at right looks back towards the church.
This headstone shows an example of the repairs that have been done to improve the condition of the monuments.
The base of the central monument is engraved with the names of
the many miners who died in the tragic accident.
| Quote of the moment |
| Sexual desire, by definition, wants something: the satisfaction of desire by the possession of the other. To a large extent this is a mental projection, provoked by a certain emotion: we imagine the other in our possession. At the moment of desire everything seems agreeable and desirable. One sees no obstacle to it, no reason for restraint. The object desired seems to have no defects, to be worthy of all praise. But then everything changes with possession. Once the desire disappears - whether it considers itself satisfied, or time passes and weakens it - we no longer look at the other in the same way. Some people admit they are stunned by this. Each one discovers the true nature of the other. That is why there are so many broken marriages, quarrels, lawsuits, and so much hatred. |
