On the way, he will be stopping by every inhabited planet on the way, not perhaps to pass on some of his own wisdom - which was considerable - not even to pass on Walt Kelly's famous aphorism, "We have met the enemy, and he is us." But perhaps, in and amongst all that he will have to offer those he meets on his way, he will pass on the sentiments of a more recent cartoonist: "The surest way to tell there is intelligent life in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." -Bill Waterson- Just his way of letting them know they made the right decision, and he left at the right time. Still, when we need him, he will always be there. So it goes, indeed. Peace. If Kurt is where I suspect he is, he is indeed winging his way to Tralfamadore.

Just his way of letting them know they made the right decision, and he left at the right time.

Still, when we need him, he will always be there. So it goes, indeed.

Peace.
