Body Farm, Buzzards, Falling Planes

Well what was their property value like before? A few bodies will probably serve the same purpose as a "farm". Trust Texans to call it a farm.

Quincy--

The original laboratory in Tennessee has always been known as The Body Farm. Dead bodies are "planted"--and some are left exposed--at different times of the year under different conditions to provide benchmarks of decay--very useful for forensic science.

San Marcos (or, "San Marcus" for those who live here) is about 20 miles south of Austin. About half way between Austin and San Antonio.

Property values going up pretty good, since a lot of people who don't want to pay the prices in either city can commute.

Frankly, I loathe and despise San Marcos, and decomposing bodies are too good for it.

If ever there was a NIMBY cause... Most people would probably pick a maximum-security prison over a body farm. I know I would.

I've read about the one in Tennessee. Very useful work. Nothing I would want to do, or live next door to, but useful.

I wouldn't mind living upwind of a Body Farm. Sure, the population is transient, but the pre-selection guarantees nice, quiet folks.

Yeah, I know -- "people are dying to get in."

Patiodog--

Puns!

My aunt spent a year or so at the body farm in Knoxville before what was left was cremated. She would have been a good neighbor in life and death.
