The End ?

.KIOk so I am taking one of our regular customers home the other night and out of nowhere he says "S#*t, the end is coming... again". I had to ask, so he went on to explain that apparently a large comit or planet is on its way to end the world...

Ah, ok. Why didn't NASA tell me about this obviously huge event before now. So me having quite a bit of interest in potential catasrophic events like this started googling. And what is it that did all of the reading, worrying and subsiquint processing benefit me?
To wake up and pay attention to each day that I'm given. It may sound cheesy or a little over the top, but that's it. Hell, we have no clue how long we have here or if we are going to have to worry about the globle food suppy this year or next, so enjoy each day as it were the last. Period.

Roadside cellphones... Yeah, thats right.

Over past couple of years I've erased a few things from my bucklet list. A few I didn't know that were there, and more accurately, things I needed to experience before the big day.
  Where am I going with this you may ask. A little over a year ago I had one of those dreaded things most any american would say leaves them terrified at the thought of... Life without a car. Thats right, walk it, bike it, or bus it baby cause life just changed. I chose the bike it bus route. Not to mention the physical positives that come with such an event, I have had an unusual opportunity to see life from the roadside. One of the most surprising I have found I'd the number of crushed/ran-over cell phones that I have come across. Is this some sort of sign of the times? Are so many of if so busy trying to navigate put lives that we forget what's important (communication) while loading out cars with all of the things we worked so hard to buy?
Hey, I'm just a guy who's riding down the road on a bicycle. And when I do become part of the car owning driving public again, I'd better take out xtra insurance on my phone...

Anyone remember "Doc" in the movie "Cars"? Though not a Hudson Hornet, this is the interior of a Commodore which the Hornet was later designed after,,,
