Let's just hope colossal extraterrestrials - think super-intelligent "Cloverfield" kaiju - don't pay Gaia a visit, see what humans have done to the planet's biosphere, and decide exterminate us for the nest-befouling vermin we appear to be.
Staying in my science-fictional theme, maybe what we need is to create suicide centers like those is the Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson film "Soylent Green," based on the grim and great Harry Harrison novel "Make Room! Make Room!" There are worse ways to die than listening to the first movement of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony while watching gorgeous long-dead pastoral scenes. Mother of mercy, is this the end of Rico?
Seriously, I send you a hug for this first Hanukkah without your mother. We are strangers but I will think of you this weekend because like all homo-sapiens we are family.
Same to you!
Still humorous
