Nature does not know extinction; all it knows is transformation. Everything science has taught me, and continues to teach me, strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death. – Werner von Braun

Interesting theory for me, as a non-believer, and for von Braun, as the creator of the V-2 rocket.

At any rate, stopping by Costco to get some pictures developed, I noticed an inordinate amount of dork-badged people (you know who you are; you probably do it all the time. You wear your badge on your waist, or around your neck, proclaiming to the world that the totem displayed is indeed a smaller representation of the living you) eating lunch outside at the food court. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course; it just never occurred to me to suggest “CostCo” when asked where I wanted to eat.

Delayed segue to an update of license plate pics.
