The whole idea of caskets is NUTS. Just burn 'em. Reduce and Reuse. We
are all born of stars.

I'd prefer medical science or art for mine. Burning seems a bit
wasteful, but the idea of taking up a hole in the ground for a century
of five strikes me as utterly absurd. Being eaten by wildlife seems a
bit of a waste too.

I like the idea of some more permanent memorial (physical or in the
collective memory) but I figure I'm going to have to do something
special to justify that (primarily to myself).

I'm an organ donor, so I hope parts of me will help to save or improve
lives after I'm dead.

So far as the rest goes, I'd prefer that my corpse goes to a medical
school, so people can learn to heal from me.

If not, burn me, and spread my ashes someplace nice. Plant some
flowers or a tree on top of me.

If someone comes up with a way to take corpse ashes and make them into
optical glass, then I'd be all about that! I'd love to become an
eyepiece! They can make a diamond out of body ashes, so perhaps this
isn't too fanciful.

Thursday morning I awakened to a beautiful rainbow here at Kitt Peak.

Thursday afternoon a "band" of Javelinas (23) were grazing in the yard.
The piglets are just too cute!

Coyote sing all night long. It's great!

Ants do not like Lestoil.

If I have it my way, a burial at sea in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast
of New Joisey during a Nor'Easter. I wanna wash up on shore and be
classified as hazardous waste!

Juvenile mammals (except that one kid poster) appear cute; it's hardwired
into us. But, but, I draw the line at javelinas. Only possums are uglier.

Why not flies, maggots, worms, ants and rats? These are god's creatures
too! They deserve to have a nice meal from time to time.

They'd all be welcome.

You can use one as carrying case for a big dob.
