Thank you for the beautiful sitrep. It will be such a loss to America-In-Ruins when you leave it behind, but as you note, no one questions your choice. I was a giant shipwreck geek when I was a kid--must have read A Night to Remember at least twelve times. I've never understood what I was up to with that. Something about the tragic beauty of doomed human ambition? Not sure if I was thinking about it at that level, but that's the narrative frame frequently used by shipwreck writers...
“ The paraphernalia of our existences, justification for our hauntings, these points from which nothing can be the same no different than any other points if we are to be absolutely honest, anything larger or deeper the work of a god built out of the loose wiring of our cheap collective dreams.” What a beautiful line. I’ll be thinking about this for a while. Thank you!
Needed this, every part, so much right now. Thank you.
