"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

That's probably my favorite thing ever written. I think about it everyday.

It will be a simple stone. I want no monument. I want no casket other than the ones the monks in Iowa make. Very simple. There's no sense in buying an expensive monument or casket.

Often I have thought of this.

It all depends on how rich I am when I die, or what I have done in life.

If I end up old, rich, and crazy, it will probably have some crazy monument that is motion sensitive. When you walk by it will trigger the sensor, which will then tell a solar powered cpu to play a recording of my voice from inside the stone. The more money I have, the more able to cpu will be able to respond to the passers-by... maybe even a scale in the dirt to measure their weight... step right up, come one come all!! Skinny or fat, short or Tall!!

That is nice.

Not to jest, but if you think about it, live long enough and you will probably see all places as if it was seen for the first time... I hope I dont experience that while alive.

I'm a big fan of old epitaphs.

Today I'm leaning towards the poetic words of a famous author...

"Don't be sad that its over, be happy that it happend"

"no dumping"

Some found him funny
Some found him crass
he's burried bottom side sunny
so detractors can kiss his dead ass

The dead only know one thing, it’s better to be alive.

I'm getting an idea of nuclear holocaust from you. In that case, I also hope I don't experience that.
