"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — 'God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.'"

god bless you, Mr. Vonnegut. godspeed.

I was just mourning and remembering my love for Cat's Cradle to Nic.

Force of nature. Goodnight, Mr. V.

Well, poo. I was just thinking about something from "Welcome to the Monkey House" the other day... title of a collection of short stories that includes "Harrison Bergeron" and "Report on the Barnhouse Effect", and I have a dog-eared copy of the anthology on the shelf in the back.

I liked his work. Twain for our time.
