[rescue] Energy

[Brian Dunbar]

I suspect that our remote descendents may find uses for stuff we consider
waste*.  Take the Sierra Club at their word that the Nevada A-bomb sites are
trashed - stack all the crap in a big cube in the middle of Nevada with big
"Don't Go Here" signs.**

*surely there are a few people (grin) here who understand this.  Something
about "old computers" and "rescue"
**thanks to Niven for the idea

I'd rather get rid of it by burning it in our Sun rather than risk my 7
or 70'th generation relatives eventually tripping over it out there
somewhere.....
