This came up at home today - sheepishly told by the two women who live in this house.
Who else thought 9-11 might have been the end of the world? Yeah I'm a pessamist, and a biblical fatalist. MB and I were sharing a few laughs about how we reacted to the twin towers disaster. Then we realized we weren't really too far off base.
We both packed our vans with canned food and water. We both took lots of money out of the bank. I went so far as to put all the family photos and crucial documents in a rubbermaid tote by the back door, in case it had to be grabbed at a moment's notice. Funny what becomes precious when you start thinking "endgame". The generator was packed and ready to throw in the van too. With extra gas.
It feels like that again. It feels like the end of the world is upon us. Perhaps not as intensely as it did when we saw the planes hit the towers - but kind of a sick inevitability that almost inspires calm.
Half of you will tell me that both of us are paranoid as hell. Given. So what. I know it, I don't care.
Just want to know if anybody else feels like the day to day bullshit simply doesn't mean anything anymore, and that survival skills are all that count right now.
