Keith spent the night. Today, the dentist and the running around which accrues with Thanksgiving meals. I’m just waiting for Keith to get back from 7-11 and then…. waffles with strawberries, and cream for our coffee. Keith arrived, realized he’d forgotten the eggs, and then departed again. That’s what 4 hours of Assassin’s Creed into the small hours can do to your brain, folks!
Eddie is trying to sleep on my bed again; I left my door propped open last night so he could. Oh, that’s odd – Eddie just whacked Gizmo over the nose for no reason I can see. Lightly, with no malice, but Gizmo jumped down from his usual perch on the back deck.
For four years or more I’ve been talking, on and off, about the collapse of civilization. I guess the thing I keep forgetting is that a collapse generates heat and no light. People will HATE. They will hate the wrong things, for the wrong reasons; they will hate and kill. Watching what people are saying during McCain Palin rallies makes me ill, but Canada’s no different in any meaningful way, we just don’t have a focal point for it yet.
I hope that we can ride out the global economic storm without all migrating back to the ranches of our prairie ancestors; I’m a city girl, and I don’t want to leave. But human migrations have a merciless logic, and the time has come to start making back up plans, and I am just too citified and lazy to face it.
