My wife and I like to walk through the historic Oneonta Plains Cemetery on Oneida Street. It is relaxing, beautifully landscaped and peaceful.  Today, with the sun shining brightly on an 80-degree day it was particularly gorgeous.

Until I found the junk

I was shocked to notice as we strolled along that someone had used this venerable Oneonta resting place for a dumping ground for unwanted garage sale items.  A large black roasting pot with cover (marked $3) in one section.,  A baby monitor (still marked $5) in another section.  Next we came upon a large metal fire pit!  And lastly a framed piece of art.  All were clearly from an area garage sale and were marked with price tags.  I was shocked to see this (I don't know why I am shocked at anything anymore, really). What a cold, disrespectful thing to do in a cemetery.  There are large garbage receptacles, but these items were obviously purposely placed through out the cemetery.  I wonder what items I missed.

It was really kind of sad.
