- How about a rhetorical answer? Heh.
- Actually, I've died seriously in a few dreams and I'm here to tell
- about it. By seriously, I mean by various violent means including
- poisoning, crashing from orbit, and others.

- Hey, you flyers out there. Try this one. Fly high, up through the ozone,
- into airless space. You may feel the need to create a streamlined
- artificial environment to protect yourself from friction and atmosphere/
- temperature effects. Then, head on out past the planets. I've been
- out far enough so that the Earth/Sun was just a dot. Got a bit scared
- that I'd lose my orientation so I came back. Am currently playing
- with an idea to "beaconize" our Terran system and head out at FTL speed.
- I figure some kind of gravity-well concept should work, provided I can
- find a proper target to "pull" toward.
- Thots?

- BTW, Hi Jennifer. :)
