Your message arrived dated Wednesday 24 June. Seems like you are about
2.8 light days distant[1], so probably fairly safe from most terrestrial
and indeed solar-system-based events. You might want to close the screen
door out the back just in case the Sun goes nova, though. Can't be too
careful.

Regards, K.

[1] That's about 0.36 gigafurlongs[2], for those who find light days
hard to wrap their heads around.

[2] From PJ Plauger's "Devils DP Dictionary", imperfectly recalled:
"Murphy's corollary #2: Should recourse to the Operations Manual be
necessary, all numbers will be found to have been given in the least
useful units of measurement, such as disk access speeds in furlongs per
fortnight."
