Thanks, Icy!
...Tony, I have to think it would be.<br /><br />Thanks, Icy!<br /><br />Mazzz, it can be some dramatic stuff, especially when done right.<br /><br />Eric, I wrote this after the local weather dudes waxed rhapsodic over an incoming winter storm last week. I've seen the local version of "Impending DIsaster" quite a few times!<br /><br />Crafty, that's true. Maybe we'll be able to actually put a nuke to good use.<br /><br />Ganymeder, I figure they're either jaded or have a good stock of food on hand. Or they'll freak out when it actually happens—"we didn't know it was REALLY going to happen!"<br /><br />Marc, I actually address this in my blog-novel, <a href="http://farmanor.blogspot.com/p/far-future.html" rel="nofollow">FAR Future</a>. <a href="http://farmanor.blogspot.com/2009/03/far-future-episode-75-interlude-pattern.html" rel="nofollow">Episodes 75–77</a> (link points to #75) if you don't want to read the whole thing… it *is* huge.<br /><br />Helen, you're closer to the coast than Atlanta, I think!<br /><br />Thanks, Cindy. Like I said, I worked from recent experience. :)<br /><br />Steve, I'm with you!<br /><br />Thanks, Adam! ("Dad joke," hee hee)<br /><br />Jack, I was actually about a third of the way in when the last line came. ;-)<br /><br />Katherine, I've been around a while, so I've seen people in action… or <i>inaction</i> as it were…Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-17540728573204237882013-01-28T21:36:23.036-05:002013-01-28T21:36:23.036-05:00It's the end of the world!
