So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since the former it is not, and the latter are no more.

Re: Interesting things I like and buy.
Is that what you play when you climb into your imagination box and pretend you're racing the streets of 1925 Italy?

An Englishman should own a sword to be kept at home.
This is mine, this is a 1796 pattern heavy dragoon sabre designed by John Gaspard le Marchant. It is a very unbalanced unweildy blade which is not suited for a man of my frame. its really for a stronger person which is why I'm going to use the light dragoon sabre when I take time to get it.
Note that it is shown here on an old SS flag, just ignore that, nothing to do with the piece I'm the flag was just lying around and I used it for background so the blade could be easier seen.
