One of the clearest moments of my own mortality washed over me at Sam's Club a few years ago.
I was buying coffee filters. Typically, I use two coffee filters a week--one on Saturday, one on Sunday, because I generally only brew coffee at home on the weekends.
Coffee filters were cheap. Something like 7,500 for $25. I think that's what it was.
I stopped. I wanted the filters, I hate running out of them. But my life would run out before those filters.
I didn't buy them.

wad up the filters in different ways and dip points in watercolored water... after they wick up lay them out and dry.... can be displayed as is or the middle bunched up in a clothespin (spreading the two sides out makes a butterfly)
Last night, Shrub announced that the US will be switching to the Coffee Filter Standard
*singing* We're in the filters! We're in the filter! We've got a lot of what it takes to brew along!
