Now that I know the phrase "dry gangrene", it occurs to me at inconvenient times just to scare me, as if frigid temperatures and expansive grimy landscapes might cause my arms to turn to black stumps not covered by insurance.

The value in life comes from its fragility- the knowing that it could all be lost at any moment. Bet on yourself. Buy the ticket, take the ride.~ Cormac McCarthy
