And it looks like I'll be here at home with the kitties to watch events unfold.
Because they shut down the fire truck factory due to the snowstorm.
I cleared out my driveway and hopped in the car and went to work.
When I got there, the employee parking lot had only about a half dozen cars in it. I thought....geez, this is Wisconsin, has everybody turned chicken??

Went inside and up to the offices, and the production manager said that Oshkosh, our parent company about 20 miles to our south, had made the call and shut everything down for the night about 2 hours earlier. They were getting hit even harder than we were with the snow. There were only about 6 of us left in the plant.
Guess I wuz the only one that didn't get the news....LOL.

So, I went over and shoveled Lori's driveway so she could get into her garage when she gets home from work instead. And her wonderful neighbors saw me struggling with it and lent a hand. They have been most wonderful to her since her chemo battle began, and I thanked them both profusely.

So, I guess if it all ends tonight, the last personal contact I had with my fellow Earthlings was a very nice one.

Peace on earth from us to you Mark :-)


And most assuredly back to you as well, my dear friend Chris.

Ahh...
Some proper music to listen to whilst all erupts around us.

It's 14:50 long, so to time it properly with the final event, you would probably want to start in in about 45 minutes to coordinate with the UTC turnover.

This should send us off in fine style... Best recording ever of the opus, in my opinion.

Get ready, folks.

One minute until UTC turns over.......

EDIT...
Well, the fact that I can still edit this means I have not evaporated or raptured yet.

I suspect at that exact moment in time, I shall be sleeping peacefully in bed with my kitties.
And, if I have to go, I could not choose a better time and place.

Meow.

When the sun is due tomorrow to rise in the east, I suspect I shall be here to see it and wonder as most were, WTF was that all about.

I shall repost this song in the morning, God willing and the creeks don't rise.

Waiting for the Sunrise...
