Happy New Year down there in Nebraska. That damn library might not let you smoke weed but those Huskers won their bowl game. Should count for something.

I'll be walking the hot sands of 2335. Hardly anybody left.. Maybe last night's windstorm shifted the dunes and uncovered a champagne bottle from a New Year celebration of times long gone....? What was this place called, Phoenix? Portland? Pittsburgh? Paducah? They all look alike to me. The sands cover everything.... Oh, here's another Dasani bottle.. i see them all the time and they're always empty.. Pickings are pretty slim here and I guess I'll move on.

as long as there's a turntable and a copy of Sgt Pepper, we can start again and build a better world.

Agreed that our current lives will be laughable to future generations. Happy New Year and enjoy the ride!

I agree with you in the long term, but in the shorter term I think they will both envy us and condemn us. See my reply to Faith on a forager of the not so far future.

I've done everything convenient for myself and not much to offset my consumption. Really just things to make myself feel better for my part in it all...........
