Sorry for your loss, ita.

Awesome! My plan to become a millionaire by producing a Steampunk version of Laser Cats is proceeding nicely....
Thoughts to you and yours ita.
Thoughts with Cashmere's sister and family also.
It will be interesting for me to see how much garbage we actually produce since I haven't dealt with accumulation of trash in years. I love my trash shute and recycling bins on the floor that get cleared out everyday.
I do plan to have composting bins in the backyard though, so at least food waste won't go out like it does now.
Fluffy Mystery at Edge of Solar System Solved
Our solar system is passing through a cloud of interstellar material that shouldn't be there, astronomers say. And now the decades-old Voyager spacecraft have helped solved the mystery.
The cloud is called the "Local Fluff." It's about 30 light-years wide and holds a wispy mix of hydrogen and helium atoms, according to a NASA statement released today. Stars that exploded nearby, about 10 million years ago, should have crushed the Fluff or blown it away.
So what's holding the Fluff in place?
"Using data from Voyager, we have discovered a strong magnetic field just outside the solar system," explained Merav Opher, a NASA Heliophysics Guest Investigator from George Mason University. "This magnetic field holds the interstellar cloud together ["The Fluff"] and solves the long-standing puzzle of how it can exist at all."
The Fluff is much more strongly magnetized than anyone had previously suspected," Opher said. "This magnetic field can provide the extra pressure required to resist destruction."
I have Local Fluff... in my pants!
ita, I'm so sorry.
