dear ms. p:

Your serendipitous solicitude about the permanence of my precious piggies is respectfully received. Respond, not for information, but to calm your concerns.

MS's Note. Believe it had to do, not with digit desertion, but introversion or whatever. Nevertheless, should this be wrong, can assure you that, a while back (when creating things), anticipated such fears. Created an alarm system to envelope myself in to avoid the possible infidelity of extremities (finger flight or pedal porker shopping sprees). Headquarters is immediately alerted on this skin-system's being violated, and righteous ruin is rained upon the threatening renegades. (No footloose or fancy-free fingies or mingies (my mother's words) in this tightly patrolled camp!)

On self-centeredness, MS's point. It is impossible not to appreciate such thoughts (about "I's"). More than a decade before the dismal demise of a doomed marriage, a poem, a sad sad poem ,ended with something like "...our I's are so big that our We will never be."

Del is delightful. His response voluntarily spelled out the double-absurdity of attempting cosmic comprehension - and he improvised the utilitarian concept of 'anti-nothing.'

Fret not, friend, for I (I?) fear not, george
