As many of you know, I love a good obit. This one's long, and a little bit too long. I know Sri Lanka is about 10 hours ahead of us, but I can't help but think with the amount of detail in this obit that they might have just been waiting around for him to die. When you write obits, you never feel that you're prepared enough.
Arthur C. Clarke, 90, science fiction writer, dies
"The author of almost 100 books, Mr. Clarke was an ardent promoter of the idea that humanity’s destiny lay beyond the confines of Earth."
This obit reminds me of a quote from "Eyes Without a Face" which I just watched last night courtesy of Netflix.
"The future, madame, is something we should have started a long time ago."
Strangely enough, the DVD has a 30 minute documentary on slaughterhouses. Avoid, if you can, ever seeing a horse or cow have it's brain smashed in or spinal cord destroyed.
