Digging up the past
It’s no secret; I love Sutter’s Fort…but even more so now, as they’ve just found a skeleton outside the fort at about 28th and L Streets. This morning’s radio report was that the skeleton is of a man and he was 5′3″ tall. He’s got an estimated burial range of 1839-1849. Wow! If you live in the midtown area, perhaps you’ll need to be extra careful if you’re doing any gardening…but I digress! I’m thrilled to see a little more history reveal itself, and it was right under our noses all this time.

I read this and had a semi-crazed thought pop out of nowhere–”what if dogs blogged?–they’d be digging all over the park right now”…I must need more sleep.
did the report say what they’ll do with the bones?
just think…present day dna research and medical records means if these bones were ours 150 years from now, people would know all kinds of things about us…
