    Well I dreamed I died

    No more weedin', mashin' and shovelin'
    I'm standing in line at the old Pearly Gates
    Up steps the woman
    And hands me a rake

    hmm I was hoping there was a nice brimstone wall& fireplace adjacent to the pearly gates to hold up said pearly gates in the waiting area when there is a long line from a disaster or somethen.

    Nope. I'll require only a kennel, holding all my past dogs. That insures social aspect falls right into place
