It is Commonly Rumored that death and Taxes are the only certainties placed before the inhabitants of this Vale of Tears. But after Mature reflection it has become the firm Conviction of this Traveler that the End of a pleasant Excursion is quite as certain as either, though not quite as sad. Be this as it May, as all Orthodox story books have it, there can be no Doubt in the Mind of any who has given due Heed unto the Matters herein set forth, that this particular trip has reached a Definite End.
