the oddities of living in the tristate area

[cornerofmadness]

My uncle was buried today (he was 90 something, died of pancreatic cancer) I didn't get a chance to go to the funeral but it was strange. He was living in eastern OH on the WV/PA borders. for reasons known only to the surviving family, he was laid out in OH, buried in WV and the wake was held in PA. I'm not sure why that last one was necessary. Surely Wheeling had plenty of places to host a dinner.
