As you may know, traffic on my blog is quite light on Sundays.
Surprisingly, my readership skews heavily towards church goers and
football fanatics. It doesn't look it at first glance, but this is a
very turn-the-other-cheek and then see if you can give them a concussion
sort of blog. Anyway, because readership is so light on Sundays, I like
to keep the tone of the blog post light as well. And it is in that
spirit that I say:
In a hundred years we will all be dead.
Yes, we will be dead, but these words, due to the electronic data storing wonders of the internet, will live forever!
So, if you don't mind, I'd like to address today's words to the future
people, living 100 years from the time I write this. All you people who will be
dead at that time are free to read along if you like, though you may not find my words of particular usefulness and relevance.
Hello people of the future.
As I write this humankind stands on the
brink of a precipice. If you are there, 100 years from now, to hear this, it is impossible
not to assume that you have come through some challenging times. Good
for you! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am thinking in your era
information is very cheap, but hard goods are a bit scarce. That is why I
have carefully double wrapped in plastic two cans of pinto beans and a
8-inch knife and buried them in my backyard. I hope they are of use to
you.
Thank you for keeping my memory alive!

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
