Odd thing really, all that male nakedness.To answer your question: No
. Writing a letter while in a sliding house, or partially submerged, seems a bit odd.

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Re: Things one thinks about when about to die
I wrote a letter to my wife when going through some particularly bad turbulence flying to Singapore one time. I don't mean garden variety... some oxygen masks deployed at one point (though the crew were quick to jump on the horn and say the oxygen levels were fine, the masks released because of the pressure differential. I was trying to be cagey in my words, because I wasn't convinced I was going to die, it just struck me as a very real possiblity. What's more, i was writing it on my laptop so I figured there was small chance of it surviving without me. Now I make myself read it whenever my wife and I are in a 'brooding' phase during a fight. Usually solves that problem pretty damn quick.

Thanks to the usual American upbringing, I'd hear my mother's voice asking if I remembered to put on clean underwear with no holes.

I've thought about my family, my girlfriend, my favorite footballl clubs and who owes me money.

My experience so far, too. Never had time to write.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Things one thinks about when about to die
Hmm been a while since I've been in real life threatening danger.
Usually when I have thoughts about going to die in a moment I think i've had a good ride and get kinda sad for the people I'm leaving behind.
I've also had the occasional thought about it being a really bad time to day, right *after* you did something very unpleasant or just when you're looking forward to doing something really fun a little later.
