 Fundamentally, eventually we're all going to be indistinguishable
 mass-components inside the supermassive black hole that used to be the
 Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies anyway.

 Yeah, I had a long, hard think about this
while the Caldor Fire was
 looking like it was about to come knocking on my doorstep this fall
 and I was trying to prep myself for a short-notice evacuation and
 decide what I could and couldn't take (read: leave stowed in the trunk
 of the car for the next couple weeks.) Ultimately, while I'd *like*
 what I have and enjoy to pass on to someone else once I get busy
 decomposing, in the long run it's all dust, so I'm not gonna worry
 myself too much over it.
