Our Final Farewell
By Wink
On May 21, a nearby symphony orchestra is performing “Live and Let Die: The Music of Paul McCartney”.
Live and Let Die? It can’t be any more appropriate.
May 21, 2011 is the end of the earth.
The orchestra could have chosen music from ‘Titanic,’ but maybe that would have been too subtle. Nope, “Live and Let Die” it is….
By now you know that an 89-year-old preacher from Oakland has declared May 21 as the beginning of the end. This same preacher predicted the end in 1994. He whiffed on that one, but maybe his internal end-of-the-world clock is better now than when he was only 72….
This type of prediction happens every couple of years, but a lot of people seem to have bought into this one.
Billboards are everywhere. People are traveling in caravans, warning of the end. A number of these people (seriously) have quit their jobs and given away all their worldly possessions. Yikes….
If these caravans have reached my little corner of the world (and they have), then there are A LOT of people out there expecting the worst…
When whack-jobs make dire predictions, people WILL listen. (How else do you think Glenn Beck stays a rich, rich man?)
I thought about rearranging my schedule, but things are sort of working out. We are celebrating my sisters birthday that day, but the get-together is at noon (six hours before the 6 PM cataclysm).
I am supposed to be throwing a big graduation party about a week later, but I guess I can ignore that now….
And I am sure sorry now that I paid to update the license plates for my car. There is no worry about getting tickets after Saturday.
My favorite advice came from CNN: “Skip the Green Bananas”

The wondering question I have is the six o’clock deadline cst? That, of course, means I still have to go to work but to heck with the house cleaning. . .
And another thing how is the world to end? We’re getting floods, we’ve had some terrible tornadoes this year and don’t forget the earthquakes. I personally am hoping a field of poppies shows up everywhere and we all just fall down to a deep, deep sleep. After that only the universe knows the rest of the story . . .
