Thank you. Luckily my daughter has said that my body (after the usable parts have been harvested) would be taken to a "body farm" where forensic scientists will be able to experiment with it. Science to the last! Then, when they return the 'ashes', I would like them taken to a creative potter, and made into something artistic that may be handed down the generations. If not artistic, something usefull. If nothing else, a comode. That way I know that I will be visited in the future! A former ceramics engineer

Let's not judge those who bring in new technology and paradigms. General Larry Skanske (I may have the spelling wrong) lead the Air Force over the introduction of stealth technology, precision guided weapons, and information dominance was known to recieve briefings while appearantly asleep. IF the briefer paused to allow the General to awake, he would reply, "I am listening" His leadership allowed the introduction of technology which has minimized "collateral damage" (read civilians harmed) and entered in the era of smart weapons. [I reserve the title of brillian weapons to those developed after his term of office] If he appears asleep, judge him (or her) by the decisions, not the actions of the presentations. Thanks
