Day Four, Week Three

In Kurt Vonnegut's novel Hocus Pocus the character Ed proposes that a gigantic epitaph be carved in the Grand Canyon “for the flying saucer people to find” after all the humans have “gone belly up like guppies in a neglected fishbowl”:

We could have saved it,

but we were too darn cheap and lazy.

Blessings,
