    If the Lakers aren’t in the NBA finals I’ll root for whoever is playing against the Celtics even if it’s Golden State.

    The Old Burying Point Cemetery is a popular location within Salem, Massachusetts. It is located next to number five on this list! The Old Burying Point is the oldest burial ground in Salem. It is also the location of the grave site of Justice John Hawthorne, a judge during the Salem Witch Trials. What makes him unique is that he was the only judge involved in the trials who did not repent after his actions. He was a direct ancestor of the infamous Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is a great location to pay your respects to those who reside there. Tourists often leave coins upon the tops of the graves as offerings to the deceased. Rumor has it that Old Burying Point is a ghost hot spot!

    The Salem Witch Museum stages the saddening events of the Salem Witch Trials. Inside you can find wax displays of the historical events that took place in 1692. If you are more interested in hearing the details of the historical events fact for fact, one of the Salem Witch Museum's many educated tour guides are more than happy to take you through the horrific piece that adds to Salem's history.

    Very interesting. My acting debut was playing Reverend Hale in the Arthur Miller play "The Crucible," which was based on the Salem Witch Trials.

    The Samantha Statue is an iconic tourist stop. Some may recognize her likeness: actress Elizabeth Montgomery, who played Samantha Stephens on the 1960s television program "Bewitched". This statue was not erected with ease. There was a wave of controversy among Salem's longtime citizens. They believed that placing a representation of witchcraft in downtown Salem was disrespectful to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Despite that, TV Land still fought for the statue, and it can now be found in Lappin Park.

    @crazyhounddog that Les Paul is gorgeous. Do you know what year it is?
    As a keyboard player, I have always envied how personal the guitar is to the musician. Unlike a keyboard, guitars last forever and only get better with time.

    That is a 2014 silver burst. It’s sounds so clean it’s ridiculous.
    Thanks 😊

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Ironically after seeing these Les Paul guitar posts I was listening to a recorded live stream that entailed walking from Tokyo's Akihabara to Shinjuku. The walk passed by a guitar shop that featured Les Paul guitars.

    One of the walkers commented to the other that not only did he have a Les Paul guitar, but that it was signed by him. He went on to add that he was working at the Smithsonian American History Museum and Les Paul had been invited to participate in a heroes event. Les was most accommodating in signing the guitar for him at the event.

    With regard to the above feature, the Les Paul guitar chat begins at 27:30.

    If you want to join in for a walk across Tokyo with some interesting commentary these guys do a good job.

    OK, I give up. Did someone drop that car body into the tree with a crane or did the tree itself actually grow around it and over time lift it to its existent height?

    I had the same thought. What year is that Ford Falcon? If it's more that a few decades old, the tree may have grown from under the car and lifted it into the air.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    And the Boston common

    You can see the gold dome of the State House and that church steeple towards the left is the Park Street Church that I attended as a youth.
