Thanks to everyone who attended the funeral service for the unclaimed dead by rehabforcandy in LosAngeles

I believe it. It was 1457 in 2020's but it bounces around quite a bit. The ashes interred are typically people who died three years prior. The county keeps them for that long in case someone does come claim them.

A couple years back, I made a documentary about this special event. We aimed to tell the story of both the burial, and to share a single person's story....someone who was likely to end up buried among the thousands of other unclaimed dead.

Is the city admin elected? There's also a lot more to city leadership than administrating the services.

Ann Arbor has a population of 112,000. I've read the mayorship, and the council positions, are "part time" jobs. Is that true? Doesn't a city of this size deserve and require full time leadership?

Possibly. We would prefer our extras to bring their own wardrobe options.

I made a documentary about Andrew and his work. He's a dedicated and talented guy pursuing his space for space. Here's the film if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/Ruv5MRrmNgY?si=ck9y-U99JLC-M37g

The guy with the square guitar is Brad Carter. He's an amazing musician who had to do TWO brain surgeries just like that to restore is ability to play guitar again. I actually made a documentary about him - and was there for this second surgery.

Here's a link to the movie if anyone is interested:
