    I keep thinking that the next Katrina or Andrew or Helene scale hurricane is going to just make whatever part of the US it hits uninhabitable. Its going to be bad enough that nobody rebuilds in that area, and we have our first refugees.

    Something slightly off-topic that happened at work last week, an air conditoning unit stopped working. It was easily fixed but it broke down exactly like what was mentioned in Neal Stephenson’s book “Termination Shock”. Ants crawled into the contactor and kept it from closing all the way. We could really end up with Relay Refugees.

      There is currently a tropical storm out in the Atlantic Ocean that has been named Dolly how ironic would it be if it makes landfall in Florida and totally wipes it out.

        Best refugees, like you’ve never seen before, with their shiny cars and heads down in their phones
