Greetings — the recent flooding in Houston has given us the opportunity to “hunker down” and catch up on previous postings. Part 2 of Galveston’s Historic Broadway Cemeteries features the port’s first harbor master, one of the early 20th century leading ladies and much more. In addition, Galapagos buddy Lonesome George and the burial rituals we wrote about Indonesia’s Tana Toraja have been in the news.

Enjoy.
