How would you like to dispose of your body when the time comes?

First a little entertainment:







But seriously, who wants to lock their biomass away from the rest of the living world?  Not me.  Instead of a hand painted coffin I think I might prefer to weave a shroud.  I wonder if I could get away with getting buried in my own garden.  You know, one last chance to stick it to the man.  

If there is no one around to give me that sort of send off I guess I'd settle for cremation but then those ashes have got to be scattered, not locked away in a little concrete box.  Ugh.

When I was a teen living in Paso Robles, a buddy of mine had a grandma who lived north of Cambria, on the coast. I spent a weekend with him at her place and on one day we "borrowed" her VW Scirocco and went up PCH to the state park near San Simeon. We had some great greenery and a good bong, so we sat on these cliffs overlooking the ocean, with sycamores and eucalyptus marching right up to cliff's edge, and perhaps a tad bit stoned, I reckoned that if I had my choices I'd just as soon sit down and die at the base of a good tree.

I've hiked this coastline a few times, and when it comes time to go back to dust, it's as good a place as any for me outside of Hill Country.
