That would be a nice way to go! =) I think a bright midsummers night,
sitting at my beloved fishing lake would be a nice final scene of the saga
of me! Way better than rotting in some hospital bed with loads of other
sick people around you.

I always thought that I'd like to die that way. And then...two of my
closest friends went fishing in a remote Nevada location. One died of a
cardiac event in a float tube.
There were other people around the lake, and emergency services arrived
in about three hours. They took the body, and my other friend spent
another three hours driving back to town to notify the other guys wife.
He could have called her, but I think he did it right.
Then, I rethought my own position on dying remotely. It wasn't the
deceased, it was my other friend that bore the burden.
