The End is coming HERE!

      I've been thinking about Armageddon recently, mostly because in recent weeks I've watched The Road, The Book of Eli, I am Legend, and, most recently, 2012, and I am currently reading The Passage by Justin Cronin. All pretty bleak stuff, but maybe appropriate for the Great Recession.

     I've joked for years that I have no skills that would be of any value were I to survive Armageddon.
     I could stand around and ask irritating questions and make annoying observations, a sure way to get evicted from the survivors colony.
     Instead of studying video editing, maybe I should take up plumbing? Or farming? Or just shutting up?
