What Goes UP

Noodling Around, sometime in 2009

Thank You, Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut has left us all behind after 84 years of shufflin' around in this mortal coil.
The link to the BBC obituary gives us 3 wonderful quotes as remembrances, among the many gems cast before us, swine though we be.

"Science fiction writers are the only ones who care about the future"

"I'm suing a cigarette company because on the package they promised to kill me, and yet here I am."

(Vonnegut came) out of semi-retirement to write the short story collection A Man Without a Country in 2006, saying that he had "drawn energy from my contempt for our president".
