The Last Stop

The author in this story got my attention with the opening line that stated death is a subject that is ignored by living people. This is very true. People hardly ever discuss the fact of dying unless they loose a person they were close to such as a family member or freind. I think people choose to just not think about dying because frankly it is a vert depressing thing to have on your mind, especially as a young person.
One thing that really stood out in the story for me was the fact that in the funeral home there was a sign that said "Visa and Master Charge Welcome Here". The sign was weird to me because when you think of a person dying, the last thing that is usually on your mind is money. I would think a funeral home would try their best to be comforting to the family. Instead the sign simply reminds the family members that not only have they lost a loved one, but in the process a lot of money is going into saying good bye to them.

"At Ole Miss, the Tailgaters Never Loose"

While reading this article I could not help thinking to myself that all of the things the author mentioned were very familiar to me. All of the tailgating and partying that takes place at Ole Miss in the Grove sounds quite similar to the game day environment here in Auburn on home game weekends.
Im sure that walking around the grounds outside Jordan Hare Stadium on the day of a home game is not too much different than being in the Grove at Ole Miss. Many fans and alumni arrive here in Auburn early for the games to enjoy the tailgating experience just as the fans in Ole Miss do. The drinking and partying that goes on at the Grove also occurs here at Auburn at numerous spots around the campus. Here at Auburn, we even have our version of the "Rebel Walk" as our players enter the stadium called the Tiger Walk. This article showed me that Auburn is not the only place that takes college football and any chance to party seriously.
