    EOTWAWKI?

    I assume you mean the CME disrupting the power grid? I'll finally have some use for the solar panel, battery packs, water filters, freeze dried foods and the other interesting but not very practical items I've accumulated as I fight off roving gangs of people fighting for gasoline Mad Max style. Should be getting my compound bow on Monday so hopefully it's arrive before EOTWAWKI.

    btw: Did you see the Northern lights show last night? They were suppose to be visible as far as Northern US but it was cloudy yesterday where I live. Maybe tonight will be better.
    HK47: Now do you understand the travails of my existence master? Surely it does not compare to your existence but still...
    You: I survive somehow
    HK47: As do I. It is our lot in life I suppose master. Shall we find something to kill to cheer ourselves up?

    Civilization will last for billions, if not trillions, of years. Dinosaurs were stupid and can last few hundred million years, I don't see intelligent human can't. By then, the world will be very different than it's now. Most people will be mixed race with few are still pure. The US may no longer be the world leader but civilization itself will last for billions, if not trillion, of years.

    I typed a snarky response but then decided that has to be sarcasm.
