Trish got fired/quit preemptively from the live-in position, so we had to relocate. We're now back about a block from the townhouse I'd been in for the previous few years. She's found another job, which she's not excited about, but it beats the hell out of continuous 12-hour days and being perpetually on-call (and no, I'm not exaggerating ( Read more... )

Look on the bright side: It'll be a wild ride, and you'll get the pleasure of seeing it!

Oh, I know, and I'm very much looking forward to it. It'll be the show of the millennium, I'm sure. >:) But I don't really want a front-row seat for it. I'm perfectly fine with making my preparations (which will start soon after I graduate and get the hell out of Kansas) and watching it from a distance.

Some friends of mine run the community "So very Doomed" It's not entirely ecological doom from what I can tell, but you might find some interesting things there.

Thanks for the tip, that definitely looks good. Well, depending on how you define "good", I guess. But I appreciate it very much. And everything is collapsing at once, it's not just ecological, and it's all feeding everything else in a downward spiral. But I'll be posting more about that, most likely with a bunch of sources from that community. :)

I don't think it's gonna happen as soon as you think. I give it 50-100 years before everything goes to shit. Not just the environment, but western society as we know it is going down the crapper.

I was wondering if you still came around these parts. I'll definitely go with 50-100 years as the range before it finally rolls over and dies, but I'm thinking 10-20 years before the death throes start, and things get really uncomfortable. The cracks are already appearing, but people are so focused on the trees that they can't see that the rest of the forest is already gone.

And I know that the entire system is starting to collapse, and that it's all interconnected, that'll be in another forthcoming post.
