R.C.-H.: Actually it's beer
I accidentally revealed my morbid nature to my roommates, after Laura asked me how was my ride home from Anacortes. I told her it was good, but that I had some vivid impressions of the last moment of my life in a travel wreck as I was napping in the amber incandescence--the sensation of a brief, tremendous crash. She was a bit aghast and offered "well, at least it didn't happen." Which would have been all right but then I said "Yeah, in this world."
