What's Posterity Ever Done For Me?

Sorry, I just can't think of anything to write.

I might do something about the new shopping centre soon - that will be worth avoiding.

I was just wondering ... what will happen to all the words and images in years to come? Will they still be here after we're dead and gone? There's already lots of out of date stuff on the internet; nothing seems to get deleted.

Will people be reading these words in hundreds of years time?

If you are reading this in hundreds of years time ... well, thank you. I'm very honoured, but isn't there anything else to do in the year 3000, or whenever?

I'd have thought you'd be living on Mars or flying about in your personal rockets or something. Or maybe you're living up trees in a flooded world.

Anyway, do drop in if you discover how to travel back in time - though come to think of it, you'd probably be here by now if you could. So, I guess we're destined never to meet.

But let me extend greetings across the centuries to my fellow human beings. Or giant slugs, or whatever you've evolved into.

Er, will this do?
