Edgar Allan Poe at 197

One of my favorite writers. Another Birthday worth celebrating. I think a large glass of cognac will do. I don't have any Amontillado though.

Unfortunately, the jack-ass sector of the public is screwing with the man who has been leaving flowers and a bottle of cognac at Poe's grave since 1949.

Some of the 25 spectators drawn to a tiny, locked graveyard in downtown Baltimore for the ceremony climbed over the walls of the site and were "running all over the place trying to find out how the guy gets in," according to Jeff Jerome, the most faithful viewer of the event.

Having some respect for other's seems to be sorely lacking. Makes a strong point that society hasn't gotten better with progress.

UPDATE:
No cognac. Guess I'll have to use Scotch.

Sigh.
