A special birthday

It is a close family member's birthday today.  In her honor I decided to go with a birthday related quote.  I also think this quote has an intriguing outlook.

"We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an invading army in a barren land; the age that we have reached, as the saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings of the march." - Robert Louis Stevenson, "Virginibus Puerisque II," Virginibus Puerisque, 1881

Have any of your communication outposts gone down?
