K. I just found out that one of my favorite authors Kurt Vonnegut Jr. died in NYC today. This news makes me feel very sad. Since Vonnegut was a big fan of Bartlett’s Quotations. I will list some of his greater quotes:

“Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.”

“I really wonder what gives us the right to wreck this poor planet of ours. “

“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.”

“Still and all, why bother? Here’s my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone. ”

You are not alone Mr. Vonnegut. Not alone. HERE are some other Internet tributes HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE.

Ok I am going to work and then heading to the AIRPORT for Stockholm. Happy Birthday to CG and GM. And Ill try to post quite a bit from Sweden! Hej Da!
