AC, Sweet AC.

I finally got the AC back into my office. Thankfully. It has been like wearing a suit into a sauna. See, normally I don't mind any type of weather if I am dressed appropriately and sitting in a 32 degree (89.6 Fahrenheit or if you rather 305.15 Kelvin) office in a suit is not being dressed appropriately. It could have been worse though. The pickled herring could have spent the weekend in my office garbage as I had planned, but the cleaning lady showed up that evening and emptied the trash, which was unusual because she is never there on Friday.

Now it may have been the heat over the past three weeks, or a sudden and unexplained moment of clarity, but I had a thought. Not just any thought, but a terrible thought. It was a Stephen King's The Stand kind of thought. It was, what if my goofy predictions for 2005 were to come true? Okay several of them are coming true, but those were the easy ones. Honestly, it was only a matter of time before Brittany got "with child". But what if mother nature did deal us a big nasty? Could you survive? If the power went off and stayed off, could you adapt and overcome? Would you know how to find food after the grocery stores have been emptied? Remember, without power most modern farms would not function. There would be no fresh water to drink. No gas to run your BBQ, or even heat and cool your home.

Wifey and I rented The Stand the other night and through the whole damn thing I kept thinking. What would I do? What I mourn the loss of our society? If I could protect those I loved, would I actually care or would I welcome the apocalypse?

andtheansweris, I think I could, I most likely wouldn't, survive and mourn respectively.
