Best laid plans....

I think TEOTWAWKI will come with a whimper, not a big bang. It'll be like the fall of Rome: we won't see the forest for the trees, and instead be sitting smack dab in the middle of it ...all too self absorbed in our day-to-day to interpret the ominous signs. The survivors will adjust incrementally, and take the least important lessons into the future.

OR...


It will come as a big bang. In which case an extra tank of petrol and a collection of canned goods or heritage seeds will only prolong the inevitable. I think I'll break into the nearest art museum with a bottle of champagne and caviar, say my newly minted prayers and toast a beautiful but flawed civilization. ...and then exit.
