[TheForge] top of food chain ( was Re: (no subject) OT )

[dann at wctatel.net]

Ah,  Stephen Kings' science thriller book  "The Stand".  Super bug gets
out into general population and wipes out 99.9 % of humanity.

Then there is the Super Volcano under Yellow Stone National Park that when
it blows,  will ( reportedly) wipe out all life West of the Mississippi..
and the changed weather patterns will raise havoc with all life World
wide.. but especially  in the Northern Hemisphere.

Actually, one of these horrific events that decimates human population,
might be the salvation of humanity... "our" last best chance. As most all
my family  live West of the Mississippi, Yellow Stone's Super Volcano
would likely be the end of me, and my close family.

But like Blakpawss, and Peter I will celebrate breakfast tomorrow with a
hearty breakfast.

Cheers,

Dann
