Grave situation at Forest Hills Cemetery
Mike Ball reports somebody is stealing sculptures and urns from Forest Hills Cemtery:
... You'd suppose trying to fence two very distinctive and well-known public sculptures will end up tripping up the thieves. I hope so and I bet the cemetery (and likely its insurance company) are working that angle too ...
The Globe reports officials fear the sculptures will simply be sold for scrap.

Dead men tell lots of tales at Forest Hills Cemetery
You just have to know how to listen and do a bit of research. Mike Ball profiles a couple of inventors buried there, including Richard Lufkin, inventor of the first vamp folding machine, which was revolutionary for its time.

Cormorants vs. turkeys
Both are large, impressive birds. But unlike turkeys, cormorants aren't known for attacking people. Mike Ball took a couple of photos of a cormorant stretching its wings at Forest Hills Cemetery the other day.

Walking onto Walden Pond
Evan reports on his trek (so no, he didn't fall through); he saw plenty of ice-fishing holes and a snowman standing on the ice in the middle of the pond.
Joe Driscoll stayed firmly on solid ground as he photographed Forest Hills Cemetery in the snow.
